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.
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.
We love that the accommodation is centrally located in National Park village (not that the village is big). Graeme & Lynley also sent us clear instructions how to get into the house all by ourselves, which was really convenient as we travelled after work and reached there quite late in the evening. Everything in the accommodation really makes us feel like "home". There were even kitchen staples that we could use to cook our meals! Love it!
Awesome place to stay at. felt very clean and and awesome location in the national park. The owners were super accommodating to us when we had realised late at night we forgotten our option of breakfast. Also was able to arrange the shuttle to pick us up from the accomodation to the Tongariro crossing making our trip completely stress free. I couldn’t recommend this place more and will happily stay again and recommend to our friends.
Hosts Karl and Maria were Awesome, Friendly and Helpful. They were able to help us with our special request. Location was perfect, close to restaurants, national park and where we needed to go. The room was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. We will be returning again in the new future. Thank you Karl and Maria for providing first class accommodation. Kind regards Donna, my sister Helene, and our Dad Bill.
The young guy working in the shop/reception area was wonderful - really cheerful, positive and welcoming to everyone. My bedroom, the kitchen and lounge were all comfortable and kept nice and clean. There's a smart TV with Netflix etc in the lounge, and multiple sources of heat to keep you cosy in this very cold village. Only a 5 minute walk from the train station/bus stop.
Great location for those doing the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, as the shuttle will pick you up in front of the hotel. Comfy beds, though the twin room did feel a bit cramped. Solid buffet breakfast and nice restaurant. The hot tub was amazing for a post hike soak. Highly recommended! Also, check their website for a special package for visitors doing the crossing!
Perfect location before completing the Tongariro Circuit. Friendly welcome from owners.
Despite a reduced dinner menu, the bolognaise and lamb shanks meals were delicious.
It was New Year's Eve, but we had a quiet night, no noisy parties in the hotel. We felt sorry for the owners having to manage with staffing issues at a busy time.
Basic accommodation but worked for us. I had read comment about soft beds and noise, but our beds were very comfortable and we had a good sleep before and after doing the Tongariro crossing. the building could be noisy—it’s an old traditional lodge, but we were perhaps lucky with the other guests and did not have any noise issues.
Good lodge feel - shared amenities are great, a really enjoyable "village" feel to the place. Great location for access to ski fields (Whakapapa and Turoa) plus Mt Ngauruhoe. Tongariro and Ruapehu for climbing and tramping. Close to everything in National Park
Great location for Tongariro. Room was not large, but was comfortable and well equipped. Liked the common area outside for guests to mingle. When we visited they had a Grillhaus food truck parked all day in the parking lot, which was awesome.
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.
I stayed at this place in April 2022. The place is very close to tongariro National Park (around 20kms) and secluded.
The amenities were as expected. Value for money.
