Spacious apartment with kitchen and living room. Table tennis table available for a quick game, supermarket is nearby Very near the Whakapapa village, convenient to go trekking Would have been perfect if it sells food onsite for dinner Great place to view stars!

Excellent service and location. The only downside was I booked only one night. I will definitely recommend this place.

We arrived late, but the heater was already on so the room was warm. Bathrooms are clean and tidy. The only thing is the mattress is a little too soft. Everything else was great.

Amazing stay in this small town close to the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. I got a really nice Pod to stay one night, would have loved to stay longer if i would have had the time. Really friendly staff and amazing bathtub outside, especially great in the colder months.

Suitable for those who look for serenity, strategic location with scenic view of Mount Ngaruhoe right at the entrance if the weather is good. Clean and tidy kitchen area with plenty of kitchen equipment and utensils for cooking. The only downside I would nitpick is that the hot tub is located by the roadside so there’s not much privacy around.

Perfectly adequate facilities, could have done with a bin in the living room area. Heavy vehicles passing could be felt as well as heard but otherwise very comfortable.
