Easy check in and good communication and level of detail provided by Debbie. We had 2 nights stay here to complete the Tongariro Alpine Crossing and Debbie’s lodge was perfect for this. Shuttles run from just a few mins walk away to get to the crossing and there are a great few little bars down the street. Also shops to hire kit for the crossing just around the corner. The lodge was quirky and homely and had everything you needed kitchen wise to cook.
