"Easy to find. Nice social activities available. Lacks smart TV’s so television entertainment is extremely limited. However a nice unit and friendly staff make this a recommended stay. "

"The cottage was cute. The amenities were not as advertised. For example, there wasn’t a coffee grinder, the washer had someone’s wet clothes still in it, etc. We had to bring our own sheets and towels (which the host said was a local norm, but we asked a handful of locals who said this was not normal). We also had to dispose of our trash at a dump at a cost! The host was very persistent that we call him to get instructions on how to enter the cottage, and I had to explain multiple times that my phone couldn’t connect the call. The host eventually explained the house instructions via messages, which wasn’t complicated at all. Check out instructions were only available via the VRBO app, and there is no wifi. This just made it not as smooth. The location was close to some activities we had planned and the neighborhood was quiet."

"Clean and well equipped room with a microwave, kettle, toaster and hot plate, as well as cutlery and crockery. Tea and coffee and some milk pods provided. The grounds are really well kept and there is a nice kids’ play area. The pool is small and unheated and could do with a clean. The communal barbecues really need some maintenance, as the burners are rotted through and barely work. "

"Great stay,nice clean room. Restaurant and bar with great staff. Would stay again."

"Clean room, very friendly staff. Cannot comment on nearby shops except for a Burger King nearby, since having a very short stay."

"What wonderful accommodations on beautiful grounds right by Lake Taupo! Was getting nervous on our road trip that there was nothing out here, but Tongariro Lodge exceeded any expectations. We stayed in a very comfortable villa, did a load of laundry, and enjoyed a delicious breakfast. Would highly recommend!"

"Being in a dome was unique. It was clean and the bed was quite comfortable. Nice to be right on the lake. Bathroom and shower facilities were clean."

"Beautiful bach, close to the lake. Very family vibes"

"We had a great time here, house had everything we needed. Beautiful view. Great communication from host. Would stay again "
