The Tongariro Lodge Chalet was nothing short of amazing. My boyfriend and I were in town for a guided Tongariro Alpine Crossing, and we were conveniently located for pickup and dropoff for the hike as well as in close proximity to the center of town to run errands. The lodge's restaurant offered some of the freshest and most delicious food we had during our trip around the North Island. Our only regret is that we didn't have time to go trout fishing or stay longer. Will definitely be back in the future!
