Cosa dice la gente
Exactly what you would hope to find from a Lodge in a national park – everything clean,comfortable and good quality. We had an excellent meal in the restaurant – probably the best fish I have ever tasted. Also really good views of the sunset from the bedroom window. However, the most impressive thing was the owners Micki and Callum who make all their visitors very welcome.We had an emergency situation whilst staying there and they were extremely helpful and thoughtful - making lots of phone ca. tutti gli commenti dei clienti »
Nice facility, plenty of room and a good place to stay after the typical tiny NZ hotel room. Clean air and quiet, beautiful countryside. Best night's sleep I had in NZ. Restaurant was closed so we drove a few km away and had dinner in an upscale resort, was better than the normal cafe or pub food.
We had an upstairs motel style room. Views from our room and the lounge were great. Staff very helpful. Our room was really cosy and kitchenette was well equipped Restaurant was good.Lounge is big and has a pool table and internet access.
The glorious weather - Being able to park handy to mountain walk - climbing to summit of Mount Tongariro at our own pace - taking several relaxed stops to admire and enjoy the spectacular scenery without having to rush back for a shuttle.
The owner "Mikki" was very helpful and full of information. Wonderful location with spectacular views to Mt Ruapehu. Good access & parking. Quiet & very relxing location. Restaurant dinner was lovely.
Our stay at Discovery Lodge was a truly lovely experience. The chalet was luxurious, meals top class and staff very welcoming, attentive and pleasant.
A great base for exploring Raupehu and surrounds.
friendly staff who immediately changed our room when we reported the room we were in had no opening window. Food was excellent.
Fabulous location, friendly & knowledgeable staff.
Staff & hosts were awesome.
nice and quiet.
Close to Whakapapa skifield. Friendly staff,.
No internet. No WiFi. The shared computer in the guest lounge is old junk and could not even load the sign-in page for Hotmail in 15 minutes. We have very ill relatives at home and not being able to communicate was difficult. WiFi is cheap to provide and important nowadays.
Lounge is very tired and needs an update. Internet free but very slow.
The slippery scree!.
A shame the chalet didn't have a covered porch or carport. We had skis & boots and two days heavy rain. It was impossible to open the sliding door and not bring water onto the carpet. We had to put plastic sheets down to take shoes off. The units were a tiny bit small.
The fact that we were put into a room with no opening window - this should not have happened.
doesn't have a spa pool.
Very Noisy heaters kept us up all night.
