Pukawa hotels from RM195

"Really wonderful little spot in a great location, the chalets are a little outdated but they have everything you need for a relatively self sufficient stay at a great price. "

"Great proximity to the National Park. Good amenities and location in town. Room isn’t the cleanest but it was fine. Don’t leave any food out because of tiny ant infestation. Overall we enjoyed our stay"

"I stayed in the dome Deluxe Tent and I was truly amazed at this accommodation! The lakefront view was gorgeous to wake up to. I like that there was a mini fridge and kettle with tea/coffee in the room. Also, the couch was very comfy and I was able to borrow a DVD from the office to watch that evening. There was a lot of parking by the dome and the cooking area was clean with enough dishes and utensils."

"Really helpful host. Clean room and bathroom. Very well equipped kitchen"

"Quiet and well set up. Enjoyed cooking dinner on the communal bbq and eating on the patio out back. It was lovely."

"Reception closed earlier than indicated, room was bleached in the kitchen but dead bugs on the bed. Restaurant staff were great, food was delicious."

"The sheets and couch were stained. There were dead bugs in the bathroom. Overall, the property and room were dingy. I would not recommend staying here."

"What wonderful accommodations on beautiful grounds right by Lake Taupo! Was getting nervous on our road trip that there was nothing out here, but Tongariro Lodge exceeded any expectations. We stayed in a very comfortable villa, did a load of laundry, and enjoyed a delicious breakfast. Would highly recommend!"

"Beautiful view, great apartment. Very disappointing that the restaurant was closed for our stay as the dining options elsewhere are extremely limited. It would have been fair to have warned us in advance."
