Adventure Lodge & Motel is an excellent choice for anyone looking to complete the Tongariro crossing, as it offers a well-planned package that slightly takes the stress out of the journey. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the hosts really made us feel at home. However, while the breakfast was great, I did wish for a bit more variety in the dining options. Overall, the experience was top-notch with great amenities and a wonderful atmosphere.

Adventure Lodge offers a cozy atmosphere with helpful staff and a great setup for those looking to tackle the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. The room I stayed in was clean and comfortable, though a bit basic, and the communal facilities were well-kept. The dining experience was excellent, with coordinated meals tailored for hikers. However, soundproofing could use some improvement between rooms, and the restrooms being downstairs might be inconvenient at night.

My stay at Adventure Lodge & Motel was absolutely fantastic! The package for the Tongariro Alpine Crossing was incredibly well-organized and made our trek so much easier. The accommodations were warm and tidy, though I did wish the rooms had air conditioning for a more comfortable summer stay. Overall, the value was exceptional with hearty breakfasts and packed lunches included, and the hosts were genuinely welcoming. I loved the camaraderie around the fire in the bar, but the evening peace was somewhat disturbed by noise from the outside at times.

Our stay was fantastic, particularly for tackling the Tongariro Crossing. The location is superb, close to restaurants and the transport service is very convenient. The shared spaces are lively, but the rooms could use a bit more charm and comfort. Overall, it’s a great base for hikers, but the shared restroom access can be a bit inconvenient late at night.

The staff made me feel incredibly welcome, with clean and comfy rooms and great amenities for recovering after a hike. The transportation service was spot on and I loved the local insights provided along the way. While I enjoyed the shared kitchen, it would have been nice to have a few more dining options nearby.
