You get what you pay for and good location to Mt Ruapehu.
Pros:

The communal fireplace in the restaurant bar was fantastic

Cons:

Only breakfast option was a buffet, and when we questioned staff if there were alternative options they said no. But later discovered there were. Rooms very small.

Warm and Clean!
Pros:

Very warm and clean room are what we need! Great location to Whakapapa for skiing. Great value for family room. Washing machine and dryer available operate with coin from receptionist. Dryer room available to dry ski clothing over night for free. Hot tub looks fun!

Cons:

Not sound proof but we're lucky we had understanable neighbour next doors. Not sure about pet friendly, better check with them if you have fur alergy.
