Everything was ok and Plateau Lodge is one of the best we have stayed for our hiking trips. The only little problem is just photo displayed when I booked. It shows a nice outdoor bath tub, so I expected the room I booked looks like this. However, that is indeed for another room type.

The bedsheets is a little smelly to my standards but all in all it is a nice place to stay. Value for money. It has everything you need. The kitchen has everything and it is clean. Warm showers and clean toilets. It is very near to Tongariro national park so the location is very good! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
