Turquoise Lodge, National Park 36 Carroll Street National Park

8/10 Good
"Great location, especially for everything in the National Park. Within walking distance of everything in town — restaurants super close. Very nice, warm wood stove if you’re visiting in winter. Lots of blankets provided, which was nice because the house was very cold when we arrived. Kitchen was very well stocked — lots of unexpected extras. For the kids there were games and lots of Legos. Very good place, overall."

Manowhenua Lodge - Hostel

8/10 Good
"Room looked like it had been recently renovated. Everything was clean and tidy and it was very nice having an adjustable wall heater in the room. Person who showed me around was very friendly and helped answer my questions about the snow fields. The room is not very soundproof so could hear people coming and going to kitchen until quite late into the evening. Also the shared toilet ran out of toiletpaper and there was no one to easily ask for replacement. Overall good place to stay for one night to get up to the ski fields."
