Liked: Room comfort
We chose this motel for its proximity to Tongariro National Park. It is rather old and worn in terms of furniture and kitchen/bath fixtures, but it had everything we needed, and there were a few unexpected extras like a fan (no AC), hair dryer, and heated mattress pad (did not use). Was also convenient to town about 1/3 mi away. Screens would have been nice in the windows, and parking lot is very tight (painted lines might help) with people randomly parking poorly. The restaurant was not open during our stay. There is a small hut right outside the parking lot available for coffee/breakfast but we left before 7 am when they opened each day.

This is an okay place for the price. It was clean but old and basic. That was a good option for a last minute booking, at a lower price.
