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.

    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.

    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! Tongariro Crossing Taranaki Track

    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.

    The top apartment had a marvellous view of the Tongariro National Park - priceless. The space of the room was very comfortable and extremely clean. Very quiet at night. Close to restaurants and supermarket, a bonus in this area. Choose to stay in National Park rather than Whakapapa Village as you have options to either cook in the room or go out. The lovely staff was super helpful when I required a last-minute change to my reservation. I would stay here again and I recommend this place.

    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!

    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.

    Perfect location before completing the Tongariro Circuit. Friendly welcome from owners. Despite a reduced dinner menu, the bolognaise and lamb shanks meals were delicious. It was New Year's Eve, but we had a quiet night, no noisy parties in the hotel. We felt sorry for the owners having to manage with staffing issues at a busy time.

    Basic accommodation but worked for us. I had read comment about soft beds and noise, but our beds were very comfortable and we had a good sleep before and after doing the Tongariro crossing. the building could be noisy—it’s an old traditional lodge, but we were perhaps lucky with the other guests and did not have any noise issues.

    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).

    Perfect lodge for taking the shuttle to the Tongariro National Park. Clean room and bathroom. Beds and the bathroom facilities are ok. Big kitchen for preparing your meals and very nice saloon/dinning hall for eating or spending some time with your friends playing board games or just reading

    It was a nice peaceful area and was close to Tongariro crossing which is what i was there for. I didn't use any of the facilities basically just the room, it had a heater in there so was good to keep warm. Seemed to be pretty clean. Staff friendly, no issues really
