We had the best time at Tony's Lodge! From the moment we arrived they were very welcoming and friendly and yet understanding that we arrived quite late in the evening. The place was easy to find, with a large sign on the highway, and inside was quite cozy with all the amenities we needed. Tony made sure to show us where everything was in the house and provided us with the Wi-Fi password right away, then let us get some sleep. The next day we were welcomed with a wide variety of breakfast options and Tony shared with us stories and history about the North Island, and even took us out to see the lake! He recommended a wonderful hike nearby and invited us to come back soon. We loved it there! And the beds were comfortable and warm! I highly recommended staying here!
