"This was an amazing lodge to stay while we travelled around Tongariro National Park. The owners are very friendly and want to make your stay as pleasant as possible. I would HIGHLY recommend staying in this hidden gem. If I ever come back I will most certainly stay here again. Also, their breakfast was outstanding. "

### Quaint Lockwood River Cottage

4/10 Poor

"The cottage was cute. The amenities were not as advertised. For example, there wasn’t a coffee grinder, the washer had someone’s wet clothes still in it, etc. We had to bring our own sheets and towels (which the host said was a local norm, but we asked a handful of locals who said this was not normal). We also had to dispose of our trash at a dump at a cost! The host was very persistent that we call him to get instructions on how to enter the cottage, and I had to explain multiple times that my phone couldn’t connect the call. The host eventually explained the house instructions via messages, which wasn’t complicated at all. Check out instructions were only available via the VRBO app, and there is no wifi. This just made it not as smooth. The location was close to some activities we had planned and the neighborhood was quiet."

8/10 Good

"Clean and well equipped room with a microwave, kettle, toaster and hot plate, as well as cutlery and crockery. Tea and coffee and some milk pods provided. The grounds are really well kept and there is a nice kids’ play area. The pool is small and unheated and could do with a clean. The communal barbecues really need some maintenance, as the burners are rotted through and barely work. "
