Summary: Fit for purpose for us as per usual. Relaxing stay.

Arama H. Sep 1, 2024 11:17:59 AM

Summary: Great Communication There were 18 of us so well worth it for the price of just a little over $20 a night each. Fireplace is awesome but down it the bathroom was very cold! If you like the basics then you will be fine. Be prepared to give it a little bit of a clean wipe down when you arrive as there was evidence of rodents. Other then that great place.

Angela Z. Aug 27, 2024 03:53:25 PM

Stephen R. Jul 20, 2024 05:46:47 AM

Summary: The previous guests hadn’t least the place in the tidiest condition which didn’t give the best initial impression. After a vacuum and air-out we had an enjoyable stay. The fire kept the place very warm.

Summary: We will comeback again

Summary: Second year in a row that we've stayed here for Labour Weekend. Was peaceful and quiet, ideally located for a range of activities nearby. Kids enjoyed gathering dead wood for the outdoor firepit, played boardgames into the evening, enjoyed the view of Ruapehu while sitting outside. Gorgeous location.

Summary: Second time staying here. A really great lodge for large groups and to get back to basics. Was nice and clean when we arrived. plenty of wood. Some new couches since last time we stayed.

Thomas H. Jan 16, 2023 10:42:07 PM

Summary: Power consistently cut out for multiple hours each day. We were given an address 5 km from the actual accomodation. Other then that beautiful little spot.

Janine W. Dec 28, 2022 12:22:18 PM

Summary: A group of 7 people wanted to do the Crossing, so we decided to make a long weekend of it. Partners, kids, the kitchen sinks, all packed away. As a Scouting family we were prepared for basic but functional, and it didn't disappoint in any way. We put the kids in one bunk room, and then adults bunked everywhere else. Those not doing the crossing prepared food, played games and popped in to Ohakune. Others went for shorter walks nearby. Was great and everyone wants to make it an annual thing.
