"The room was clean, bathroom tiny, couldn't fill the jug in the bathroom basin. My room was downstairs and the guests in the room above, you could hear walking around and ceiling creaked every time they moved around."

"What wonderful accommodations on beautiful grounds right by Lake Taupo! Was getting nervous on our road trip that there was nothing out here, but Tongariro Lodge exceeded any expectations. We stayed in a very comfortable villa, did a load of laundry, and enjoyed a delicious breakfast. Would highly recommend!"

"Room was one of the cabins. Basically a metal box that a room was made of. No closet. No place to hang anything up. Heater small for room and took a while to heat the space. The hotel is in a great location. Walkable to many restaurants. "

"Our unit was a stand alone cottage, very spacious and very clean. We used the town as a launching point for some hiking expeditions and found its location to be perfect. It is located smack dab in the middle of everything. A four minute walk to the grocery store. There were a large number of cafes and bakeries to choose from within five minutes of us and the city info centre was located next to us. We would not hesitate to return."

"Nice place"

"10/10 very nice place"

"Excellent location for starting the Alpine Crossing hike. Excellent staff and very good breakfast before beginning the hike. "

"Clean room, great food, attentive staff. "

"Quiet and well set up. Enjoyed cooking dinner on the communal bbq and eating on the patio out back. It was lovely."

"We stayed 2 nights in the ‘deluxe’ double room No 4 directly behind reception. The self check-in process was very easy to use. I suspect like everyone else we were there to do the Alpine Crossing. So in that context it suited us fine, only a few minutes drive to the pickup point. The room was en-suite, the shower was okay once it warmed up and it had a decent TV with a range of channels. The kitchen was well equipped. Overall very good value."

"Very basic, but clean and adequately equipped older and somewhat shabby motel. We didn't try the restaurant. "

"The room was clean and had a hot bath, so I could relax. The starry sky outside the room was the most beautiful I've ever seen in my life!"

"The Grove Turangi accommodation was lovely, easy to reach and very clean. There was parking right in front of the place. Check-in was super easy and straightforward with clear instructions. The hosts were very friendly. As an extra bonus, there was a sauna, which we really enjoyed. All in all, it was a very nice stay and we definitely recommend it! "

"Clean and cosy rooms. Central to the mountain and town. Very nice room layout! Washer/ dryer available in the villa. Check in process could be improved. We arrived earlier in the day and no one around to help us check in. We left and returned hours later and still no one to check us in. Another person staying in the resort contacted the person that was supposed to be there for check in and that person sent the cleaner to check us in! It was annoying and bizarre! "
