"The rooms were clean, a nice stay, but small and missed details.
A jug was provided but we could not fill it from the one tap provided in the bathroom sink, either shower or filling by cup was available.
The toilet seat does not feel sturdy for the 110kg plus sizes, and at only 6ft my feet were off the ends of the bed.
The bathroom door had no lock, which might be ok for couples, but not so with teenage daughters. This was made obvious by the shower door handle hitting the door especially when opened fast.
The warning sign for the step that was quite dangerous was not visible when the door was open, and was really not obvious.
But all of those details were made up for by one of the best meals we ever had, every dish was well above average (only again could have done with a dob of butter for the veges). The staff were incredible and I would happily employ each and every one in any business I owned."
"The chalet was very nice, clean, well equipped, and comfortable. We greatly appreciated the in-room washer and dryer! Note* the dryer does get VERY hot on cotton/regular mode. We tried out the hot tubs too-very nice! "
"Really enjoyed our stay at Mountain Heights Lodge. They were so helpful, as we had accidentally booked for the wrong night. Rooms were very comfortable and clean. We also appreciated the continental breakfast in the morning. Would absolutely stay here again."
"We spent three nights at the Lodge. It is an excellent base for exploring Tongariro. Our room was very comfortable and the lodge had a laundry and drying room. Breakfasts were very good. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay.
Ps. make sure you meet Lucky, a very friendly feline who befriended us 😻"

"Good spot, we missed the reception (but got keys ok from lockbox).
We had a cabin, it was a bit smaller than the photos showed but was a nice spot to rest for the night. "
