Clean and great stay before Tongariro Crossing Hike”
We stayed for the night before and after our Tongariro Crossing Hike. Our room was clean and very comfortable. They are addressing the unsound proof walls. Well organised drop off and pick up from the crossing hike. The showers were hot and powerful. Well equipped kitchen area if you ant to self cater but also places to eat out locally. Breakfast were yummy! Stars at night were amazing.

Thank you so much for your review. We're glad you enjoyed your stay with us, best wishes.
Excellent overnight stay”
We booked a one bedroom family unit for a one night stay. Dave was friendly and informative staff when we checked in. The heating had been turned on before we got there so the room was lovely and warm when we arrived. The room was clean and cosy; internet was excellent and unlimited; the shower was hot and strong; and there was extra bedding if needed. It was a shame we were only there for the night. Thoroughly recommend.

Comfortable, clean room and exceptional staff.”
We enjoyed our stay here to hike the Tongariro Crossing. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Be mindful of the check-in hours of this location. The spa was not working when we stayed but the laundry was helpful at $4/load. We booked bus service with National Park Shuttles, but ended up taking Adventure Lodge shuttle since they are partners - just FYI. If staying to do the hike, be sure to stay at least two nights.

Great location ”
Awesome place to stay, very close to the ski fields and really nice to come home to a clean, warm cozy cabin to stay in.

Enjoyed the stay very much! ”
The pros definitely outweighed the cons. Cleanliness was perfect, and it was an enjoyable stay for pre and post Tongariro Alpine Crossing! The drying room was very helpful in keeping our things dry and clean. We also tried out the private spa room, a good time to relax. The only con would be the shuttle for Tongariro is slightly expensive, hence we chose another vendor's shuttle service.

thanks so much we are happy you enjoyed your stay - shame you booked another provider we are the best in town and have perfect 5 our of 5 reviews - you missed an entertaining ride out ! We offer personalised service and even pick people up at midnight - the others would make you walk back!!!
Very comfortable”
The lodge is just a short drive to Tongariro crossing trailhead. The hotel offers round trip bus service at a reasonable rate for start and end of crossing. The rooms are basic and a bit dated, but large enough and clean. The walls are thin but it seems the guests are very considerate to their neighbors so we slept fine. Can’t say enough about how helpful the staff is here to ensure you have a pleasant stay.

Thank you for the review, hope you enjoyed your stay with us
Great location, great hosts. ”
We had reached a few hours earlier than the check in time and was offered a room because it was ready. So instead of waiting at the lobby (which is also very well equipped with bathrooms, comfortable seating and a lot of books), we were able to get some much needed rest. The place is closely located to some really good trails and eateries.

Good stays for Alpine Crossing”
Helpful and friendly host. My daughter drop her spectacle in the room when we checked out, only found out when we reached Taupo. Manage to ring the owner and they said they had found it, next day morning drove down to collect, my daughter felt grateful to the owner. Will stay there again when we going there again next year. Thanks.

Fantastic place to stay”
Adventure Lodge and Motel is fabulous. Excellent service from the staff (including a text before we arrived checking to see if we wanted to book the shuttle or book breakfast), spotlessly clean rooms and in an excellent location. My only (petty) grumble is that the website needs updating. There's no bar, open plan living area or licensed restaurant. The shared kitchen and dining area is open though and we made good use of that. Highly recommended.
