Good location but the walls are paper thin and the kitchen is not accessible from inside (have to walk around the property to access). Room was tidy and beds were comfortable.

Owner Gillian was an excellent host. Did our transfers from/to NP Station. Took us up to Whakapapa to Gondola on our day of arrival. Room was lovely. We had a spacious 2 bed apartment and kitchen. Common kitchen and lounge facilities (while we waited for the train) were excellent.

The staff were very knowledgeable about the Tongiro Alpine Crossing and were able to answer all questions we had before we went. We felt much more prepared after speaking with them and had an amazing time on the crossing!! Thank you!

Friendly staff that provided helpful information about our hike the next day. Easy to book transportation to the park for the Tongariro Alpine Crossing hike. Nice to have an en-suite with kitchenette. Beds were a bit soft for us but not a deal breaker. We stayed at another property a second night that we booked first and added a night and the other property could not accommodate us. Wished we stayed at the Adventure for the two night.

Bed was comfortable and room was warm and nice. Tv has cable and it was clear.
I thought the term kitchenette was misleading as there is no stove in the room. just microwave, kettle, and toast. so it would be more accurate to call jt a pantry? Hooks in the toilet will be appreciated too. Flushing system can be improved too. Walls are abit thin.
