Skotel is nicely located within Tongariro National Park. We had the best view-- our bedroom faced Mount Ngauruhoe (Mount Doom from LOTR). The room was nice and warm, and what we expected from a ski resort in summer. I recommend this place for anyone wanting to explore Tongariro National Park.

It was quite and beautiful. Room was stocked with all the necessary items. Decks were well done and enjoyed sitting on them with morning tea.
