Hi there, thanks for your question. I've only just seen it so sorry about the late reply. You can use the camp ground kitchen if you stay in a twin room. You do need to bring your own pots, pans, cutlery, plates etc. The kitchen has hotplates and microwaves. The kitchen is not heated. If you have any other questions head to the footer of our website where there are multiple ways of contacting us. All the best, Callum

In the chalet that we had there was an electric cooker, a microwave oven and a kettle

Sorry to be so late replying and not able to answer I'm afraid as we had a car The lodge staff are v helpful so suggest you contact them

Dear Marie9813, Thanks you for your message. To answer your question about the weather, every year is different so it is impossible to compare the weather from last year to this year. This is an alpine environment so the weather systems can be very changeable and unpredictable. I am sorry I cannot be more help with this. Our restaurant is open during the summer months, however there are very good restaurants and cafes only five minute drive from Discovery in either direction. We are only 5 minutes drive to Whakapapa Village and from there it is a further 5-10 minute drive up the mountain road to the ski field. We are very happy to help you in any way we can so please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you. Warmest regards, Callum
