The Crossing Lodge and Backpackers
The staff are amazing. Especially to the owner. He helped us immensely. We had a car issue and he helped us and made us feel welcome. The owner went over and above and beyond to accommodate us. It’s not out of pity. You can tell he's just one of those people you rarely come across who are willing ...

Plateau Lodge
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.
