"Warm & Welcoming We had a wonderful stay here! The hotel was warm, cosy and very comfortable, with beautiful mountain views. The breakfast was delicious and had a great selection. We especially loved having our own private hot bath — it was the perfect way to relax after a day exploring the mountains. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing mountain getaway!"

Turangi Bridge Motel

"Awesome comfortable bed, kitchen area too small have to juggle things around quite a bit to get breakfast sorted. Restaurant really good as was food lots interesting stuff to see in there . Shower really good , bit of a tidy up and bit of paint would make it even better"

Tongariro Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"All class."

Tongariro Crossing Lodge

8/10 Good

"Everything you need, and nothing you don't. The rooms were very cosy even though it was freezing outside. This was a great little stay for our family of four. Only gripes would be the mattresses were old and tired so you could feel the springs and they bounced around a lot, and the wardrobe in the bedroom would be a lot more useful if it was replaced with shelves or a chest of drawers. Would recommend this place again though despite these things."
