A hostel with very friendly and welcoming staff. The room was ok, in line with the description and photos. They have large available kitchen for guests, and also room for chilling out.
20 minutes drive from parking where you can get bus at the start of Tongariro Alpine crossing hike.
The ladies at the reception were lovely and welcoming. The self contained room we had was fantastic. It was very clean, warm and had everything we needed for an overnight stay. Beautiful view from our room as well.
Planning on coming again and bringing the kids with us.
