Top National Park Village Hotel Reviews

Skotel Alpine Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely and homely, staff very friendly."

Plateau Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The lodge was very well maintained and the staff were helpful and kind enough to sort us into a room even though id accidentally booked the wrong nights stay. Our room was clean, warm, and comfortable. The fully equipped kitchen was useful to keep costs down by cooking our own food. There was a large lounge/dining space which was plenty big enough to share with other guests and they kept the fire going for us so everyone was cosy. A good selection of toys/books/games for children/families and our 3 year old loved being able to befriend and play with other children. 10/10 for our first family trip to whakapapa."

Turquoise Lodge, National Park 36 Carroll Street National Park

8/10 Good

"Great location, especially for everything in the National Park. Within walking distance of everything in town — restaurants super close. Very nice, warm wood stove if you’re visiting in winter. Lots of blankets provided, which was nice because the house was very cold when we arrived. Kitchen was very well stocked — lots of unexpected extras. For the kids there were games and lots of Legos. Very good place, overall."
