Nice place to stay for the night, -- mind your head when you are upstairs. A shame that it's not facing west to take advantage of the evening sun. Even so, very warm -- the fan was definitely needed.

Shared washrooms great use of space. Depending on age of guests a grab rail on the right side of the toilet stall doors would be an asset.

Nice and cheap stay. Noisy kids running up and down the hallway (but thats not the accommodations fault.) Easy drive to Whakapapa so good spot! Noisy heater fan in bedroom when it was closed.
