A nice place where you had the possibility to cook your own meals. Breakfast was included and could have involved some more things, like boiled eggs and ham and cheese (considering most people are active/hiking in this area)

The property met our expectations as the room was exactly as it looked in the web pics. The check-in was fast and easy, the room was clean and wi-fi was great. We could park just in front of our room. Even when the lodge is close to the road, we could sleep very well, with good black out curtains.

While we enjoyed our visit to the National Park, this accommodation was a bit disappointing compared to the many other stays we have had in New Zealand. A few updates would go a long way in improving guest comfort (replace noisy bathroom fan, replace tiny mirror in bathroom, provide wardrobe, shelf, or hangers for guest belongings). Staff were pleasant and access to the communal kitchen was helpful.
