Very decent, good bathrooms, nice kitchen - but busy, but that’s okay when you have a campervan with kitchen with you, otherwise it would be pretty annoying. Very nice view and a very short distance to many walks in the national park and also the crossing if you don’t want to do a long drive before and after the crossing!

Pretty decent place. Great location for the crossing and other walks around Tongariro. Clean bathrooms and hot showers. We didn't cook in the kitchen because it was pretty busy and we couldn't be bothered waiting 🤣, but plenty of people seemed to be cooking without issues. Easy to book. Would stay there again.

We stayed 1 night before doing the Tongariro. The location is top and the setting ideal (close to the parking lots and shuttle). Showers and toilets clean. However in the kitchen the electric plates don’t really work. No heating in the common area but at least we were dry. Everything was done by email.

Not worth the price at all, no WiFi, no cutlery/cups/washing utensils etc. You can only book online and the staff were not friendly. We were planning on staying for two nights however due to rudeness of staff, who rushed us off site although it was empty,we decided to leave earlier.

Ideal for a break in nature. Hot shower. Kitchen with microwave and heating plates. Laundry and common space. Warm place and very friendly and welcoming staff.

The reception was unmanned, but online booking was straightforward. Pleasantly hot and clean showers, well-maintained grounds, and a superb location in the national park.

Loved our stay here - great communal facilities, lovely and open and a great location for doing the alpine crossing

We stayed one night before doing the Tongariro crossing: good location not far from the park and ride parking (shuttles). Clean kitchen, toilets, dining area. Paid 52$ for a powered site (even if I don’t need it - but only space left).

I didn't meet the owners, but we corresponded by email. They were very kind and understanding: I hiked the Tongariro, and they offered to let me leave my car at the campsite and pack up my tent only when I returned, rather than 5 a.m. before the shuttle. The common areas were clean and well-equipped.

Way too expensive for what you get. Cookers barely work, no utensils or even soap in the kitchen and the bathrooms and showers look like they’re from the 80s. The only good thing is the convenience for the shuttle
