10/10 Excellent
"Warm & Welcoming We had a wonderful stay here! The hotel was warm, cosy and very comfortable, with beautiful mountain views. The breakfast was delicious and had a great selection. We especially loved having our own private hot bath — it was the perfect way to relax after a day exploring the mountains. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing mountain getaway!"

Tongariro Crossing Lodge

8/10 Good
"Everything you need, and nothing you don't. The rooms were very cosy even though it was freezing outside. This was a great little stay for our family of four. Only gripes would be the mattresses were old and tired so you could feel the springs and they bounced around a lot, and the wardrobe in the bedroom would be a lot more useful if it was replaced with shelves or a chest of drawers. Would recommend this place again though despite these things."

Pipers Lodge

Pipers Lodge

8/10 Good
"The place was busy due to the ski season and many seasonal workers stayed there, so night time could be quite noisy. There is also a kitchen on site offering simple buffet breakfast at a cheap price and other dining options for lunch/dinner. The staff members were very friendly and helpful; there were complimentary coffee and tea at the common area 24/7, a TV and a large lounge to chill at. The kitchen was quite packed but they have air fryers which could be very useful. The room we stayed in is central-heated. Close to National Park and Whakapapa, this place is good for a short stay."

Haven: Ruapehu Accommodation - great value

8/10 Good
"Hi JulieIt was great stay at Haven. Kitchen was clean and neat, we were preserving water so dishwasher was not used.Rooms were abit disorganized but we managed well with our own beddings apart from room heaters which got off in the middle of the night due to fuse breaker turning off. We didn't use Extra mattress and blankets kept near fireplace. Fireplace was 10/10. Generally house was very spacious, kids also enjoyed."
