Everything you need as a backpacker
The lodge is bright and colourful. We had our own bunk room which was close to the bathrooms. The kitchen was big with lots of utensils. Great location for anyone doing the Tongariro Crossing or exploring the National Park. Adjacent bar was fun to pop in to and staff at both the hostel and bar were very friendly. Can highly recommend catching sunrise, the stars and sunset.
Great location and the best place from which to explore the National Park.
Great location well priced and quiet at night
I liked how there was a big common kitchen/living room hangout area like a lodge-hostel. I loved the garden spa pool. The staff were all really nice, my bed was comfy, and the location can’t be beat for hiking around Tongariro!
An absolute gem. It’s a characterful motel style lodge accommodation and superbly appointed full kitchen and comfortable bed and wonderfully helpful and pleasant host. Great location for doing the crossing and relaxing afterwards !
Great location, super friendly and accommodating staff, had everything we needed.
Very convivial and friendly atmosphere in the spacious kitchen. The location is great, very close to the Tongariro Alpine crossing. There is a nice little pub right beside it! It was so nice to have a family room with a private bathroom! We can hop on a shuttle right outside the youth hostel.
great location. Good restaurant for breakfast and dinner. this is a budget place but is great value for money. it accommodates backpackers and our room was near the shared kitchen and dining room which was a a bit noisy. do not go there for Fancy but for the location and staff friendliness
Skotel is in the most beautiful location - the wilderness is on the doorstep.... just step outside and start hiking. The staff are wonderful, the rooms are great (either backpacker budget or hotel style) and the restaurant is 10/10. Room prices and restaurant prices are excellent value - nothing like city prices here! This was my third visit to Skotel - I look forward to it every time. It is also a great place to meet new people - guests mingle easily and share their day in the wonderful environment of the National Park.
