Ava lodge is brilliant. Clean, comfy beds, spacious and we were lucky enough to have a balcony. The beds are comfy with lovely linen. And the bathroom especially the shower is huge.

We were only planning to stay one night at Ava lodge before traveling to Tongariro. But due to cyclone Vaianu we called Ava lodge and Joe was able to extend our stay a couple extra nights. Ava lodge was very nice, modern, clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Joe for helping us out 😀
