We really enjoyed our one night stay at Mountain Heights Lodge. Our room was comfortable and spacious, the continental breakfast was great. Maria and her husband were really great hosts. We wish we could have stayed longer.

I would like to start by saying that the site was nice, and it was easy to find and convenient. When we arrived, I had to wait for a while for the concierge to come to the desk. He showed us to our rooms up a set of stairs that had very narrow doors at the top that were very hard to offload our luggage through. The room was quaint but on the small side. The shower was very different than any other shower I had ever seen and took a while to figure it out. The bed was nice and comfortable byt there very little space to move around the room with all the luggage in it. I would recommend this place if you are traveling light.

We enjoyed our stay, appreciating the quiet location and pretty view. The self serve breakfast in the breakfast nook hit the spot. Our second floor room was airy and well appointed. Regretfully we only spent a single night. The lodge is conveniently located for visiting the national park.

Convenient for our stay to do the Tongariro Alpine Crossing- Maria was spectacular- friendly and a great host. The only thing was that the location is directly on the highway and you did hear the passing traffic at night but this is not a fault of the lodge - its a very convenient place with onsite shuttle pickup for the TAC.
