Great value, decent restaurant on site, easy to book a shuttle for the Tongariro crossing, and friendly helpful staff. Small rooms but cosy and comfortable bed. Plenty of car parks.

Perfect place to stay if you are doing Tongariro Crossing or other tracks in Tongariron National Park - our host arranged shittle bus for us, also provided packed lunch for our hiking. Lodges are very cozy, a little bit dated but clean and very well equiped. Free laundry! Delicious breakfast! Good fast food truck very close....

A great stay for friends and family to stay over. The house was lovely and clean and had all the thing we needed. Location is great too, there is a bar just a few minutes walk; around 25 minutes drive to Whakapapa ski field. I forget my phone that leave it under the pillow when check out. Luckily the host contact me immediately to collect the phone. Highly recommended! We will most definitely stay again if we are in need(。・ω・。)ノ♡

this is a wonderful place to stay. Great welcome. Offered another room because the host thought a top bunk would be difficult. Fabulous warm lounge. A special gear drying room. Great kitchen . In the reviews June 2023 a woman complained about the signs but some people in hostels and b/ps almost need a death threat to remind them to clean up.

The property was nicely located for our Tongariro hike. Hosts Dutchy, Gillian and Lana were very friendly and the lunch packed for Tongariro was great! It was more than we needed on the trip but very tasty. Our vegetarian friend also really appreciated the Vega option. Good place, would definitely recommend!

The empty Chateau is a shame but we hope that will be sorted soon. The neglected buildings in the village on both sides of Bruce Road is not a good look. Hopefully they will be restored and have tenants soon. We understand Covid and the uncertainly around the sale of the ski field had a big influence but we hope that it would be fixed soon

The management is chaotic. I lost my ski poles.

The management is chaotic. I lost my ski poles. It took me an hour to find them among three girls. I found that all their equipment was someone else's. I was shocked. There were too many novices. My friend's child was hit three times in one day. It was really dangerous.

We loved our visit. Fantastic views and quality time.

We loved our visit. Fantastic views and quality time. Easy to get around in a standard car. Weather conditions were clear and bright, mild cold temperatures so a very minimal amount of ice on the road. We recommend the sky waka gondola. The skotel alpine resort is a good place to stay.

The isite leaves a lot to be desired.

The isite leaves a lot to be desired. It could easily go from barely adequate to basic competence by putting boards outside stating the office is closed. As walkers are supposed to register their walks on the mountain you wonder how accurate their information is when the office is closed and there isn’t even a notice board outside for walkers to use to show they’ve left or returned. The village in summer, now the Chateau is closed, has very little available accommodation. There is a shop for basics and Skotel runs a great restaurant and bar.

Absolutely recommend the 2 hour walk to Taranaki Falls.

Absolutely recommend the 2 hour walk to Taranaki Falls. You can do it in sneakers, some parts are lovely bush right alongside the river. The landscape keeps changing. Its beautiful and the air is so fresh. There's a table at the falls so take your picnic and stop for a while. Get your caffeine fix from TNT Pataka Food Truck at Whakapapa Holiday Park, they make a decent coffee and the food looked good too. Unfortunately some places in the area closed due to staff shortages, so it might pay to check for what is open when you visit.

Hi, It is better to plan your trip for at least two days.

Hi, It is better to plan your trip for at least two days. You can enrol your kids to ski school at the nearby school for a longer duration trip so that they learn the art of skiing. Bringing chains with the car will help you to revisit the Whakapapa skiing location often and reduce the commute cost. All in all, it was good to see snow all around especially if you are coming from the northern part of NZ.

Excellent location, close to Whakapapa ski field and national park. Small room but was fine to fit 2 adults and 2 little kids for the night. Kids loved the bunk bed. Had own bathroom and small fridge/kettle which was nice. Good to have restaurant onsite, food okay.

We had a lovely stay here. We booked a cabin but got a free upgrade in the hotel. Room was very spacious with amazing views of the snow capped mountains behind. Enjoyed listening to the pianist playing in the lounge in the evening. A wonderful place to stay.
