Welcoming, helpful, organised our first overnight stay as we arrived late in the day.
Van clean and spacious but 1 or 2 minor issues. A telephone call for advice about cooker flame, produced helpful outcome.

Walked main path to summit, picnic and views, circled crater then descended.
An info board at the top about what you can see would be great, though we had locals with us to tell us. Route via Lava caves to base was misleading-had to retrace.

Spacious, a bit windy the night we were there, a long-drop loo.
Amazing views of the slopes, volcanic mountains on the ascent to Arthurs pass, snow visible on peaks. Right at waters edge.
