I had a fantastic stay at Paul's cabin. I stayed by myself so I had plenty of space here, but I can easily see that it wouldn't feel crowded even if you had full capacity staying here. This was such a peaceful place to rest while looking out the plentiful windows at the landscape. National Park Village is well situated for visiting Tongariro and this place is close to where a lot of shuttles stopped to ferry passengers to and from. The town itself is small so you're looking at basics in terms of restaurants etc, but if you're here, that's probably not your goal anyway - though Paul had some local suggestions which helps too. I would absolutely stay here again next time I come through Tongariro!
