Not a good place to stay

Pros: That is close to Ruapehu
Cons: cleanliness
Location: Close to Ruapehu which is the main thing to do in the area.
We have used this place in the past and the experience was good but this time we were not allow to use the cabins because they decided that cabins is for couples, no kids allowed on the cabins. There were spider webs on the ceiling and also fleas that fortunately didn't bite my kids only me. We will not be back because with kids is handy to have ensuite cabins and they are not longer using that for families, we thought it was going to be ok but it wasn't and also the cleanliness is not acceptable. The whole place is in need for some maintenance as it is easy for bugs to come inside when you see holes on the facade, it looks old and run down.

Cramped & below par

Not at all as it was advertised online through Wotif, this was one disappointment after another. From the tiny cramped box of a room to the lack of linen for an international traveler; from the stand-in manager from overseas to the poor communication, this may be a hikers delight but certainly not a family-friendly holiday park as advertised. Ammenity block closed for three hours with no communication on where else to go. Double-charged for booking already paid for through Expedia and still waiting for refund. No wifi so couldn't confirm I'd already paid for the booking at the time of check in. Rude hikers stomping around verandas from 4:30am until they clear out at 7am. Don't expect a sleep in here. Not the place for a lengthy stay, if at all! Worst experience.

Overnighter

Location: In the middle of SHWY 47 would be perfect for a base for tongariro crossing
Cabin was way smaller than expected but everything was clean. Communal toilets were exceptionally clean. Take your own pillow if you get a cabin.

Good value for money

Pros: All the facilities we needed (communal kitchen and bathroom, drying room, cabins). Clean and tidy.
Cons: BYO crockery and cutlery was a bit annoying. Most similar places provide this in the communal kitchen. Cooking utensils, kettles, microwave, stoves ec
Location: Tongariro National Park - skiing, snowboarding, tramping, mountain biking, fly fishing
Not my first choice for a snowboarding trip as this place is a bit of a trip from National Park village (no walking to the pub). But not far from Whakapapa skifield and very handy to the Tongariro Crossing. Also very good value.

School holiday and visit to mt. Ruapehu

The facility and staff were great, the only thing that im not happy is mobile network availability no signal, though this is beyond control of the management of the facility.

Good location, close to mountain.

Clean and tidy. Could do with an up-lift of standard cabins as our door was not shutting properly. Had to slam it hard. There were also a group of guys staying close to us who were having a party in the room next door who kept us up till midnight with their vomiting, yelling, screaming as walls are paper thin.

Location: Just right
Facilities: Modern, Above average; Value: Affordable; Service: Outstanding; Cleanliness: Spotless;
