Fantastic place, can tell it is a proper family home. Had everything and more than we expected. Great selection of games, puzzles and decent reading books. Location is great, easy walk into town down beautiful riverside walk. Lovely bed linen. Could spent a lot more time that the brief 3 nights we stayed (family with 2 small children). 20 min drive to Tongariro shuttle car park in Ketetahi. We had the best weather to climb the Tongariro crossing. Was delight to come back to the lodge and warm up after. Would happily stay again.
