We stayed in a lodge and parking was just next to it. Bery easy for loading and unloading our staff. We left luggage for storage and picked them up after our visit to Tongariro National Park with no issue. The common area in the lodge is a little bit small for five adults to move around, but the rooms and number od beds are OK.

Excellent stay! Waterpark was just what we needed!

Excellent 4 night stay in 2 Bed Chalet. Room service was unexpected but very welcomed. Waterpark was open from 08:00 to 20:30 so great for dipping in and out around other trips. Discounted rate for customers but would have made sense for the option of a Pass to tie in with length of visit, but minor irritation. Overall totally recommended!

So much fun for the kids

Stayed for just one night with our kids aged 8 & 10 in a self-contained cabin right across from the playground with the trampoline, which was awesome. Just a few steps away was the giant bouncing pillow which the kids loved. The cabin was comfortable enough, though you can definitely see the wear and tear from over the years. It was great being able to walk to the spa/water park area, though given how small they are and that they're under renovation (1 pool and 1 of the hydroslides were closed), I feel like paying overnight guests should be able to go for free or get a larger discount. Overall we enjoyed our stay but there are definitely things that could be updated/improved on the property in future.
