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.

Rooms were comfy. Probably a little dated but nothing terrible. There's a restaurant next door that had a good burger. The tongariro shuttle picks you up right outside. They actually have a climbing wall! The only grocery store was really close as well.

Perfect to cut a Wellington to Hamilton trip in half. Ensuite room was great, had all we needed. Kitchen and lounge facilities were comfy and welcoming.
Nice and warm, very clean.
Staff were super friendly and happy to have a chat.
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.
This apartment is perfectly located in the National Park village, which was perfect for us having just finished the Tongariro Crossing. The rooms were well equipped, and the sizeable, powerful shower was just what we needed after a hard day's hiking. We also met the owner, who was lovely and had no issues with the fact that our booking had changed from 1 to 2 people, other than being concerned that he hadn't known to be able to leave us enough towels. A wonderful stay and excellent value for money.
Stayed in room #1. Two bedroom, very clean and nicely appointed. Great jumping off point for Tongariro NP. Schnapp's Bar has good food and drinks and is ~ a 5 minute walk away. The Alpine Crossing is exhausting but unlike any other hike in terms of landscape/scenery. It's like walking on another planet at times. I stressed about our 10 year old (less so her 14 year old brother) but she crushed it. Just take your time. And Oreos.
Central location with a restobar and mini golf course just beside, and fuel station/convenience store within 2 mins walking distance. Shuttles from to/from Tongariro Crossing starts from the hostel and can be booked directly at the reception, which is very convenient. Showers are consistently hot, which is really needed after a long day of hiking. Kitchen well equipped. Overall this is the perfect hostel to stay in National Park.
Was convenient for us since we came to National Park to hike the Tongariro crossing- the car park was only 25 minutes away. I really appreciated the facilities- rooms were simple but had everything we needed including a blow dryer, shampoo, body wash. The beds were fine and the shower functional with great pressure and nice hot water. The shared kitchen area was clean and had everything we might need. We enjoyed our stay!
There is a large kitchen, where guests can prepare their own meals. A pub and hotel restaurant are close by, but can be very crowded. Short driving distance to National Park. We had a room with private bathroom, which was nice. The normal rooms with shared facilities are quite small. There is also a large television room with comfortable seating.
The location of the property is close to the national park center and walking distance to the two restaurants in town. The staff was very friendly. Despite the weather, they have alternative recommendations. We also were able to watch movies in the common room that you can borrow from the office.
The lodge was very close to Tongariro park. The owners were very helpful. The spa tub was lovely after the hiking. The lodge is also close to a convenience store to buy basic groceries (recommended to do food shopping for produce and anything other than basics before getting to National Park).
Good lodge feel - shared amenities are great, a really enjoyable "village" feel to the place. Great location for access to ski fields (Whakapapa and Turoa) plus Mt Ngauruhoe. Tongariro and Ruapehu for climbing and tramping. Close to everything in National Park
The room is nice and comfortable with nice view outside. Small kitchen is located beside each two rooms with some ingredients while having refrigerator to keep your food, very convenient. It is well located while you would like to go to Tongariro national park.
Tracy and Thomas are extremely welcoming, and do everything to make you feel at ease! They provide everything you need to enjoy Tongariro National Park in excellent conditions. Cleanliness, calm, living space and a pleasant kitchen, everything is perfect!
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 location to stay if you are planning to do the Tongariro Crossing or skiing at Mount Ruapehu. It was clean and staff were very friendly. There was equipment to hike or skii and winter clothes to hire.
Great location for exploring Tongariro National Park. Excellent share kitchen. Good bathroom facilities. Clean and comfortable beds. Schnapps Bar, 5-mins walk was very friendly - great food and vibe
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
