Ruapehu Retreat is a spacious and self-catering holiday home situated in National Park. It is set in a convenient location for guests to explore the Tongariro National Park and wider Ruapehu region. The accommodation is 41 km from Turangi.

Fantastic location. The partial Mountain View allowed easy monitoring of the best weather moments for hiking. High quality sheets on the bed and bathroom was clean with good water pressure and on demand hot water. Large movie library and comfortable living room furniture that was great for waiting out bad weather.

Located in National Park, within 22 km of Whakapapa, National Park Home is an accommodation offering garden views. The air-conditioned accommodation is 16 km from Mount Ruapehu, and guests can benefit from private parking available on site and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is set 16 km from Taranaki Falls.

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!

The holiday home includes a lounge area with chromecast TV and a fireplace. The kitchen comes with a dishwasher and dining area. There is also a balcony overlooking the surrounding mountains. Guests are provided with a washing machine and tumble dryer.

The property was booked last year but a day before our travel, the city went into locked down. Luckily the owner allow us to change the date last minute. We brought forward the dates and Jo was very helpful with the last minute bookings. We took the whole big house, one common foyer with two separate entrance for both units. A connecting door to access both units is on the top floor. It was very convenient to accommodate big families. Huge window with balcony allows us to enjoy the mountain view from every corner of the house. A short drive to the gas station, more or less 15 minutes to the foot of Mt Ruapehu and 45 minutes to Ohakune.

    I liked the room - it was cosy and spacious. Lodge is nice and has this "mountain touch". The kitchen was great and perfectly equipped. The beds were super comfortable. Howard's Lodge is the best place when you plan to visit Tongariro. Communication with personnel was ok even though we haven't met anyone.l :D

    The location for starters. The area is awesome. The property was easy to find and very convenient. Our hostess was very friendly and welcoming and everything we needed was available . The property is old but very cosy. Lots of wood to keep the Swiss chalet style. It suited us well for the night.

    Modern 2 bedroom apartment. Well provisioned for self catering. Comfy, cosy and clean. Paid laundry facilities were handy after doing the Tongariro day crossing. Definitely take up the offer of the in house massage. Well worth it.

    Loved how clean and cosy this place was. The lounge was toasty warm with a fireplace crackling, the kitchen was tidy and had ample space for cooking, and the room was a good size with the added touch of an electric blanket for extra warmth. The location is great, and having the dairy on site is perfect for meals or snacks as it was well stocked. Very friendly service, great value for money. I will definitely be back.
