The Crossing Lodge and Backpackers
The bedsheets is a little smelly to my standards but all in all it is a nice place to stay. Value for money. It has everything you need. The kitchen has everything and it is clean. Warm showers and clean toilets. It is very near to Tongariro national park so the location is very good! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
