Kia Ora tour March/April 2017 in New Zealand. Hike to the "Bridge to Nowhere"
So beautiful!
A magical spot in Whanganui National Park. So much history and stories to be told.
The Bridge-to-Nowhere is one of 3 sister bridges (the others are the Bridge-to-Somewhere and the Bridge-to-Elsewhere). We went to see it with the Bridge to nowhere tour guides. Absolutely brilliant! We chose to stay overnight in the lodge and could have stayed there forever

Although slightly jaded the rooms were clean and tidy. Bathroom akin to a 'Tardis' with a huge Shower. Mini Kitchin excellent. Bed very comfortable. Overall i would thoroughly recommend as great stay value for money.

Room was one of the cabins. Basically a metal box that a room was made of. No closet. No place to hang anything up. Heater small for room and took a while to heat the space. The hotel is in a great location. Walkable to many restaurants.
