I was pleasantly surprised with this lodge so I've taken time to wrte this review. I booked a dorm because it was a good price, but felt like i got so much more than just a bed, it was warm and cozy when it was zero degrees outside, it has a great kitchen with gas ovens water filters and an airfryer, a big dinning room, 2 big TV rooms (one is a hidden room, I loved it 😆) and and free pool table, great bathrooms, and showers worked perfectly, check-in is done easily with a touch screen tv, that was impressive, the doors are all security doors and i felt safe and secure which was a concern for me from some previous reviews i had read. Im already planing to come back with friends when there's more snow.

All hostels in National Park

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

It’s a great location to get to the crossing (if weather permits!) staff are lovely and there is a lot of kitchen space. Climbing wall if that’s your vibe. It’s a bit basic in terms of other kiwi hostels but good value for money.

Hostel with a great location to the Tongariro National Park. Friendly Staff, big kitchen and shuttle service. Best of all, there is a climbing hall in the hostel! Highly recommend to stay here!

Very convivial and friendly atmosphere in the spacious kitchen. The location is great, very close to the Tongariro Alpine crossing. There is a nice little pub right beside it! It was so nice to have a family room with a private bathroom! We can hop on a shuttle right outside the youth hostel.

Honestly, the best hostel I've ever stayed at! The owners were the most welcoming, loving and caring people. They made sure to talk to everyone, they even remembered the names of every single person who stayed there at the moment. The whole place was super clean and well kept. Kitchen had everything you need for cooking. The living room is amazing to hang out, watch tv, play games or get to know the other guests (and make some new friends!). Would highly recommend staying there. You would not be disappointed!

This is our second stay here. It was great coming back and knowing the facilities. The beds were very clean and comfortable and the room was clean. We used the communal kitchen and it had everything we needed. We enjoyed chatting to some nice Danish backpackers over dinner. We had brought supermarket provisions with us and we could easily pop to local shop for any small items. Stunning views of mountains. Cheapest option by far too!
