The hotel offered more facilities than we expected. Dining room staff for dinner were excellent. Delighted at large dining room. Excellent breakfast. Only problem with room was the bathroom was far too small. Room was warm and cozy.

Great value for money with the Ruapehu Unit. Most impressed, everything we needed and nothing we didn't. Would definitely use again
The views of the Tongariro mountains around National Park...
The views of the Tongariro mountains around National Park are excellent. It is a quiet little village with a good bar. There is no shop so buy your food before you head to National Park. National Park is an excellent base if you are planning to do the Tongariro Alpine Crossing walk as you can get a shuttle to and from the walk from here.

Excellent place for hiking and trekking. Place is near by famous mountain area. If require, all the hiking gears can rent from near by shop. As an alternative to Alpine crossing, I recommend Taranaki falls, Lower Tama and Upper Tama lakes trekking.

It’s a great place to visit if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. Venture into the outdoors there are so many good walking tracks and of course in the winter when the snow comes skiing as well!

It's a great base for exploring Tongariro National Park's hiking trails. Most trails are within a 10-minute drive. Keep in mind that the village only has two restaurants. Personally, I recommend the pub next to the mini golf for a good meal.

Great views of the mountains.
Great views of the mountains. Not many eating options but it is a tiny town/village. Schnapps bar is cozy and decent pub food. Spiral restaurant buffet breakfast was a bit average, a la carte menu looked better but wasn’t available on Sunday

Always enjoy the atmosphere in this beautiful rugged environment.
The Walks are very nice with beautiful scenery in every direction. Ohakune is also an interesting town with much to enjoy with cafe's, quaint eateries & many options for accommodation.
Very close to the Ketetahi Carpark for the Tongariro Crossing. Mobile phone service with Spark only - none for Vodafone or 2 Degrees. Good to know for anyone considering future bookings :-) Also make sure to bring your cooking pots and utensils, and own bowls, cups, plates and cutlery as in the description - the kitchen ovens, fridges and microwaves are there to use but you must bring your own cooking and eating gear.
Very helpful friendly staff, the room was great- big and quiet with a comfy bed and beautiful ensuite. We shared a kitchen with one other room which was great.
The setting is lovely, and the location was perfect for us. The hosts arranged a shuttle for the Tongariro crossing which was very well organised, and there is a free to use laundry. A great stay!
Great location at National Park Village. The quad room with ensuite was a good size. clean and tidy. Our son loves the climbing wall located inside the property and the mini gold just next door. Excellent base for exploring Tongariro National Park and/or the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. The shuttle for the crossing stops just outside.
Room was good, several bathrooms to use in the hall. Did not use the kitchen. There are several restaurants and bars in town. Close to the National Park (about 10 minute drive) and skiing. Sink in kitchen, also a small shop onsite for snacks and sodas.
Great little lodge. Handy to National park, and very warm and cosy setting. Wasn’t expecting much for the really cheap rate, but it was really nice, and a perfect place to rest up after a full day exploring the walks around Tongariro national park
It felt like a hikers hotel, a good buzz. The rooms are basic and the food hearty. It’s everything you need before and after doing the Tongariro Crossing. Would thoroughly recommend
Clean and spacious rooms. We also liked the way they help you organize the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, from renting out hiking boots to providing shuttle service to and from there.
Very close to Tongariro National Park. Check-in easy as was met by owner. Good views of mountains from LR. Owners friendly and responsive. Unit reasonably clean on arrival.
Great location, just outside Tongariro National Park - excellent stargazing without leaving the hotel. Room was spacious, and the breakfast facilities were very convenient.
I stayed at this place in April 2022. The place is very close to tongariro National Park (around 20kms) and secluded.
The amenities were as expected. Value for money.
Excellent location right in National Park village. Staff was helpful and lovely. Outdoor bath was perfect for relaxing after doing the Tongariro Alpine Crossing.
The hotel was clean and great location - close to mountains. There was food on-site and the restaurant/bar was perfectly placed. Hotel staff were accommodating.
National park is a good location for the Tongariro Alpine walk. Shuttles go from there to the start, but there are better accomodation options in Turangi
