• Kate (10/5): -
• Hugh (8/5): -
• Xin (6/5): Disappointing Stay Due to Bad Odor - Room was clean. Beautiful garden. Fully equipped kitchen. The living area and toilet had a terrible smell, not just a damp odor. The toilet in particular smelled the worst, and leaving the window open did not help at all. There were no fly screens on the room’s windows or doors, so we couldn’t leave them open to let fresh air in. The air conditioner was quite old, and when it was running, the smell became even worse. When we arrived, we asked if we could change to another room, but were told the lodge was fully booked. We then requested a fan to help circulate the air, but never received a response. We stayed for three nights, and no one followed up with us regarding either the fan or the possibility of changing rooms.
• Scott (10/5): The king suite was perfect for 2 that wanted to cook dinner. - Location and the very large trees! All good
• Andrea (10/5): - Tolle Suiten mit allem was man braucht. Sehr ruhig, gute Lage für Aktivitäten, sehr sauber und vor allem sehr nette, hilfsbereite Menschen. Sehr zu empfehlen.
• Gabriel (8/5): - Location was great and very quiet and tranquil. Right next to the river beautiful had a wonderful walking path . Peace and serenity are here. I saw a cockroach in the bathroom while using the toilet at night.
• Sebastiaan (8/5): -
• Ralph (9/5): Very enjoyable - Check in and out very easy Room a bit damp
• Ian (7/5): Only stayed overnight, but considered it a good place to stay a few nights. Staff were very helpful with local suggestio - In a lovely garden-like development. Nice outside aspect. A bit dated.

We didn't have any issues at all and would have liked to have stayed longer.

We drove down to our unit, parked outside and were continually surprised by how lovely everything was inside and outside the unit. The kitchen in the unit was well equipped, I cooked with ease. Gas BBQs are available in beautiful outdoor areas too. We slept well, no noise and headed off early to the Tongariro crossing, which is very close by. The best part of staying was meeting Peter the owner. What a chap! He is the kindest man and spoke so warmly about his life and creating Creel Lodge.
• Janelle (7/5): - Close to tongoriro crossing tramp. We slept well in the bed. Shower was nice and hot. Smelled musty.

• 배유리 (10/5): - 입구 들어가면서부터 기분 좋아지는 정원. 숙소에서 바로 연결되는 통가리로 리버트레일은 산책하기 너무 좋은 계곡길. 숙소 내부의 시설은 모든게 사용하기 편리하게 되어있음. 주방도구, 에어컨, 스마트티비. 식탁위의 수국 한송이마저 정말 사랑스러운 숙소. 리셉션 비롯하여 모든 직원들의 미소가 오래도록 기억될것 같음.
• SE (10/5): - Beautiful setting with gorgeous gardens and huge trees. Loved unit 2 with its big kitchen and all the amenities. It was clean with big windows that had a beautiful view. There was a covered, large sitting area, but it was too cold and rainy to sit outside. We wished we had stayed longer, we had only one night and it was raining. We did walk the River trail which was accessible from the lodge through a gate. It was perfect.
• Elena (10/5): - Very clean, comfortable and friendly
• Catherine (10/5): - Beautiful grounds, great location backing onto river walk. Good sized unit with outside seating.
