Some of our guests hiked the Tongariro Crossing last week and grabed these great photos to share with you all to see what you are missing out on! The weather is good, the Crossing is open, and we have rooms and beds at the lodge to keep you warm and cosy before and after your adventure. Book now for labour weekend!

Snow at the lodge last night and this morning, meaning there is a LOT more up the mountain. Our mid week specials have been extended to the end of August, but we still have the lowest accomodation rates in the region as well 😁Come stay with us, Ski and Board the day away and enjoy central heating and a great group of visitors and friends.
