Thank you Rimu Lodge for looking after us so well. Lovely apartment - got upgraded to a swanky suite for a booking issue entirely of our own making. Convenient place to stay if you're doing the Tongariro Crossing. Nice local restaurants and bars within walking/stumbling distance. We particularly appreciated having our own fireplace to curl up in front of after... More

My husband and I stayed here recently while doing the Tongariro Crossing with a large group. We all had a variety of accommodation, but we stayed in the train carriage. Very unique and a fun stay. We arrive just after 6pm and the office should have been open but was not, however our key was readily available in the office... More

Separate bathroom and toilet, double bedroom, kitchenette with microwave, electric fry pan, and the normal basic kitchen stuff. Unfortunately we found the beds Very uncomfortable. the double bed was a very thin mattress on top of wooden slats. The... More

We stayed for one night in one of two Railway Carriages available - $100 a night. Wonderful experience and close to The Junction for drinks and eats...only a 3 minute walk. Has separate bedroom and shower/tiolet etc ..includes TV and kitchen. Dined at Powerkeg and went for a walk on the Old Coach Road.
