    I was here when the weather was really poor and the hostel lacked a comfy room to sit in and read a book. But for access to Alpine crossing and outdoor activities it cannot be beaten.

    A decent hostel although the rooms were very small from what i remember, but a nice kitchen and a great place to explore the park and to walk the Tongariro Crossing...
