And hospitality just amazing- we have such fond memories of this place. I would highly recommend it to any campers heading to Rotorua- dont bother with the campistes there in the town centre and head out here to Ngongotaha instead- bliss!

January summer ambient temperatures were a bit cooler than I would prefer for splashing around in the river but people in NZ think that 74F is a heat wave, ymmv.

I agree with other reviews that its a little shabby and could do with a lick of paint. I think a…read morebetter shop and perhaps an upgrade on the changing rooms. Maybe its not popular to bring thru the money needed for the upgrade. The price is good and relevant for what it is. I wouldn't be happy paying more though. The pools could have done with one being a little hotter, there seemed to be very little difference between the two hotter ones so I just stayed in the hottest one the whole time. The main pool will be popular in Summer for the campground. I don't think I would go back when I think other hot pools in the North island are much better.

Beautifully kept little campsite and holiday park. The real treat is the private hot springs-…read morenestling down at the bottom of the park, a bamboo surrounded pool is available at next to nothing with hot hot lovely bubbling spring water.

This hostel accepts BBH and YHA cards which give you a discount for your stay here. It's one of a…read morehandful of hostels in NZ that accept both cards. If you don't have either of the cards you can purchase them here and apply the discount immediately. I found the staff to be friendly and helpful. They had good advice on where to go and details about logistics. This is a good base for doing the Tongariro Alpine Crossing and the staff can arrange for a shuttle pickup. The hostel has everything you'll probably need including a couple of cool bonuses. There's a large kitchen with lots of refrigerator space for food (which you'll need to label). They have private rooms with or without bathrooms as well as dormitories for budget travelers. The bonuses include an excellent climbing gym, rental gear in case you didn't come prepared for some of the outdoor adventures and a TV lounge (which is decent). I had two bikes with me and I was able to keep them in the garage during my stay.

IT was awesome that there are thermal pools on site! We enjoyed using the pools and meeting fellow travelers. The WiFi was very poor, as it is in many places we have traveled.

So Disappointing! So…read moredisappointing, small park unfriendly staff, although we had booked in advance no question of having our vans together, despite there being empty spaces the whole time next to us! Their hot pools were just everyday hot tubs and tiny swimming pool, far too small for the size of site! Digging your own pool on the beach is not what it seems, again very small area! Children's playground dangerously close to a real hot spring with very inadequate fencing! Facilities left a lot to be desired!
