This was the perfect location to overnight after checking out the local mountain drives and ski-resorts. Very cute railway station and a very special shout-out to the staff at the National Park Hotel (Thanks for putting on all of that 70's content...AND fire-lighting). Would love to mention you by name, but not sure whether you would want that. Anyway, thank you ALL for the memory.

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. 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.
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.
The lodge is bright and colourful. We had our own bunk room which was close to the bathrooms. The kitchen was big with lots of utensils. Great location for anyone doing the Tongariro Crossing or exploring the National Park. Adjacent bar was fun to pop in to and staff at both the hostel and bar were very friendly. Can highly recommend catching sunrise, the stars and sunset.
Hotel was in a very good location where all the facilities like Petrol station, Grocery shopping within walking distance. The shared kitchen is maintained well and rules are clearly written for everyone to follow. Pick up option for Tongariro crossing shuttle was at their doorstep which was helpful.
Clean, comfortable, well equipped. We stayed there to do the Tongariro crossing and the hotel can sort out transport and packed lunches for the walk. There is a lovely hot tub available for guests to use at no cost but needs to be pre booked. John and Gillian who run it are very helpful.
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.
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.
This accommodation was very affordable. But you get what you pay for. It is a very basic accommodation. Good placement in National Park and is close to Tongariro 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.
Lovely warm rooms and super clean cooking and bathroom/shower facilities. A great spot to stay while enjoying Tongariro National Park or driving South.
