one night of quick accommodation
The location is great for people who plan to go hiking in this national park. There is a restaurant serving decent Western food. We ordered pasta carbonara which was quite tasty. But the fish and chips were not up to the standard. Check-in was easy and handled by a friendly chap. The room was decent-sized for a big Q bed and a single bed for my teenage son. The water pressure is good, but the bathroom didn't have proper ventilation which is always one of my pet peeves whenever I stay at any hotel.

We stayed in Chalet 1 and it has big enough space for our family, our two big bags and four carry ons. This cabin has a deck and a dedicated parking for our vehicle. There’s a towel warmer in the shower area and the entry hall. Entry to the accommodation was just wide enough to lug a bag. It was a bit tricky going to the shower area coming from the inside as the doors both swing outwards but we found a way to make it work. My children loved that the Wifi still works in the public carpark at the bottom of Ngauruhoe Terrace. Breakfast buffet is $25 and feels expensive for what’s on offer. Not sure if it was the weather or poor lighting in the restaurant but somehow it affected the palatability of the food. For dinner it was a hit for my my husband and myself (we ordered the salmon and vegan lasagna), but a miss for my two children (they ordered the pasta of the day and the fish and chips). Pasta was too creamy and the fish batter was not that crispy. The clouds parted on our last day and Mount Ngauruhoe showed itself. We love that we have a good view of it from the deck. Overall it was a good stay. This accommodation is positioned well for exploring the national park.

Beautiful Location, Smelly Rooms
Perfect location for hiking in the park. The outdoor patio at the bar has a great view and great staff, however our room smelled disgusting. We visited in the summer but the room still smelled like sweaty ski gear. Would recommend for the location, but the resort could use a major refresh.
