Independent in Ruatiti from NZ$70

"We were just passing through but wished we stayed longer. Rooms were fantastic, had a Queen suite with an en-suite and it was stunning - cannot recommend a stay here enough. I can imagine in ski season this is the perfect spot to begin and end your day, especially with a lovely pub, restaurant and warmed pool!"

"This is the best place to make your base, if you’re planning a “crossing”. Between the impeccably clean newly constructed cabin suites, the continental breakfast with delicious house fresh baked bread to warm at your convenience, in your fully stocked kitchen. To the real fresh ground beans to brew in your cabins French press! Everything you need, is provided, to head out early at your own pace. Alas, we were rained out, as a big storm swept through the area, and we had to satisfy ourselves with a few smaller hikes. But when the weather permits and we can return, we’ll surely choose to stay here again. Run by a very nice and helpful couple who can answer any questions you have about the Park and its many hikes. This is truly a wonderful place to stay. Highly recommend."

"The owners were lovely people and very accommodating, nothing was too much trouble- we were drenched after a wet day and they kindly dried our clothes. The hot tub was a lovely bonus on a cold wet day. Our room and all areas were clean and tidy. Would highly recommend "
