“Stay was comfortable & convenient to surroundings eg hikes and walks :D”
“LOvely setting, an alpine lodge with a view. There is spa and sauna..”
“Fantastic location to start the Tongario Crossing and Northern Circuit. The bar and dinning areas have that warm log cabin/chalet feel which it’s great after a long day tracking.”
“Certainly a good place to stay in a spectacular setting. Nice bar and restaurant. Otherwise a rather basic settlement, army camp style.”
“The staff here are absolutely standout - their service was amazing, easygoing, great to chat with. Always happy to help with anything (even making a late night hot choc when we were the only people around at 10pm on a week night). The food here was excellent and reasonably priced. Fantastic views. Rustic and charming accommodation. Cool music. Everything you'd want when on a wilderness holiday!”
“Great food at the restaurant but not cheap. Great view”
“The Skotel accommodated perfectly for our needs but I was impressed that they catered for all situations.”
“Incredibly nice and helpful staff, nice backpackers room, good location for hiking, comfortable, nice food at the restaurant and good value overall”
“Grat location - in Tongariro National Park. Fabulous views of the volcanoes - weather permitting! Staff very welcoming and helpful. Rooms and chalets clean. Minibus pick-up for the people hiking the Alpine Crossing makes life easier.”
“Staff was extremely helpful and nice, the facilities were great: hot tub, sauna, kitchen, restaurant.”
