6 Dec 2018 - NZ Day 6: Mountain Heights Lodge and National Park Town Centre

Our accommodation for tonight is Mountain Heights Lodge, which is about 20 mintues drive from Whakapapa Village.

The fully equipped self contained motel unit comes with a double bed in the living room and two single beds in the bedroom.  A private hot spa is available to all guests.

As it's about dinner time, we drove to the nearest town, National Park Village, which is just 2km away.

We drove around this small town and visited the railway station, unique art sculpture and war memorial.

We bought some food (fish and chips, nuggets) from Macrocarpa Cafe and brought back to the motel.  On our way back, we had a nice view of Mount Ngauruhoe and Mount Tongariro although their summit were covered by the clouds.

For the second time in the day, we witnessed a beautiful rainbow over the plain from the motel.
