Standing in the corridor in front of the room, you can see both Mount Ruapenu and Mount Ngauruhoe at the same time. The view is incredible. In unit #10, you can see the snow-capped mountains while lying in bed. Thought the unit near street, but Mary prepared earplugs in the room. Once closed door and windows at night, the noise is ok. I’m actually a light sleeper, but that night I slept very well, I woke up by alarm in the morning! Mary who runs this motel is so nice and so kind, she is very considerate of customers’ needs. She helped me a lot for checkin and check out time. I’m so thankful!!! The unit is very big and super clean. There are no odors smell in the kitchen or around the sink. The towels and bed sheets are very clean, the bed is comfortable. Everything let you feel clean and pleasant.

I recently stayed at Howards Lodge and had an exceptional experience. The lodge is well-maintained, offering comfortable and clean accommodations that made me feel right at home. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist with any requests. The location is perfect for exploring the surrounding area, with stunning views and easy access to local attractions. I highly recommend Howards Lodge to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

We came during the low season in June, and we really enjoyed our stay. The Lodge is well situated to hike in Tongariro National Park. We also really enjoyed the fact that the kitchen was well equipped! We wouldn’t hesitate going back!

The lodge is a lovely place with everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a wonderful breakfast and the possibility of getting a packed lunch (recommended if you go hiking for the day, as there is only one small food truck at the foot of Tongariro). The garden is beautiful and the hosts are super friendly and helpful; when we couldn't do the Tongariro crossing because of high winds, Louis gave us great recommendations for an alternative hike.

We loved this place. The staff were so welcoming and thoughtful - an excellent B&B experience. Rooms were comfortable and lodge area was very comfortable. A delicious, home cooked breakfast was included. Finally, they place has a number of animals on premise and our hosts were very kind to let us pet some of the animals including, sheep, alpacas and a few Maine Coon cats!
