Excellent base for Tongariro National Park area. 20 min drive/shuttle to Whakapapa Village, shuttles or 15 min drive to Mt Ruapehu. Supermarket, gear rental, petrol station and restaurants walking distance. We really loved our stay, it has everything you need and it's conviniently located in central National Park. Chanelle was super helpful and communicative at all times. Warm, dry and secure. There's a sound system ready for plugging your phone. No wifi, so deal with it. Take extra blankets & linen, that's all you might need. Thank you for our stay Chanelle! We really enjoyed it :)
