My husband and I stayed on a two night package which included a private room with ensuite, cooked breakfasts, Old Coach Road Trail transfers to Horopito and use of the spa pools. Due to urgent surgery and an eight week recovery recovery, we had to postpone our break away for two months and Steve was understanding and helpful when I contacted him and was happy to extend the deal until my husband had recovered. Our room was cosy, clean and comfortable and there was a clear view of Mount Ruapehu from the deck - we sat and watched the sunset and the colours reflected on the snowy mountain - it was magic. The breakfasts were made while we waited and delivered to our table hot and fresh. The staff were helpful and happy to go the extra mile. The lock up storage facility for our bikes was an added bonus and everything was in walking or biking distance so we didn't need to use the car. All in all this is a great place to stay with friendly and helpful staff.…

Even though the weather wasn’t playing ball with the Tongariro crossing so we weren’t able to complete it, the service, food and kindness displayed was superb. They pulled out the stops to ensure our stay was great. Breakfasts in particular were amazing value and selection. Will stay again! Thank you Steve and team!

We stayed on Waitangi weekend, was fairly quiet due to Covid. We booked direct and had a family room. Very clean, the hostel has everything you need. Steve was very welcoming. Would definitely stay again.

Perfectly positioned for easy walking into town, or a speedy car ride up the road to the mountain, this is a great hostel to stay in. I was in one of the upgrade type rooms in the main building and found it to be very clean and comfortable. Staff were very helpful also. Didn’t get to try it but I noticed that there is hot tub spa which would be super handy after a day on the slopes or walk my trails.
