The overall experience was great. No faults at all. Perfectly placed for my husband who was doing the Tongariro Crossing. Excellent facilities. Washer, dryer. Hose pipe for dirty boots. The service was brilliant too. The lodge was warm when we arrived and advice for dinner was greatly received. In walking distance of a four square for essentials is good too.

I love the cozy environment, friendly and helpful staff, and the cleanliness of the room and the common area. The price is reasonable, and the location is perfect—just a 5-minute walk from the bus and train station, and another 5-minute stroll to the supermarket.

I like most firewood and very good space for kids playing activities
The views of the Tongariro mountains around National Park...
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.
The top apartment had a marvellous view of the Tongariro National Park - priceless. The space of the room was very comfortable and extremely clean. Very quiet at night. Close to restaurants and supermarket, a bonus in this area. Choose to stay in National Park rather than Whakapapa Village as you have options to either cook in the room or go out. The lovely staff was super helpful when I required a last-minute change to my reservation. I would stay here again and I recommend this place.
You can't beat the location for doing the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, while also having easy access to Taupo and Whakapapa if you have a car. Amazing stargazing just outside the camp if you have clear nights. The room was comfortable and clean - what you would expect from a holiday park setting - and the shared kitchen is functional if a bit small for the number of people staying.
We liked the location with its views of Mt Ruapehu, Ngarahoe and Tongariro. Easy parking. Good meal in a pleasant restaurant (though slow service). Room was clean and well lit. Beds comfortable and plenty of power sockets. Couch to watch TV but no desk. Ours was a smaller than normal room. We liked the hotel overall but felt we had not experienced the best they could offer.
Great location at National Park Village. The quad room with ensuite was a good size. clean and tidy. Our son loves the climbing wall located inside the property and the mini gold just next door. Excellent base for exploring Tongariro National Park and/or the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. The shuttle for the crossing stops just outside.
Great stay, house was super comfortable for our family, had everything we needed and was really clean and warm. Hosts were so friendly and helpful. Really easy to get to the shuttle for the Tongariro crossing. Excellent place to stay, highly recommended. Thank you!
The front desk staff were so helpful in helping us to plan our Tongariro Crossing walk. The kitchen and dining area are well-stocked and very comfortable for preparing food and meeting other travelers. Our family room was a good size and the bathroom was clean.
Room was good, several bathrooms to use in the hall. Did not use the kitchen. There are several restaurants and bars in town. Close to the National Park (about 10 minute drive) and skiing. Sink in kitchen, also a small shop onsite for snacks and sodas.
Great location, just outside Tongariro National Park - excellent stargazing without leaving the hotel. Room was spacious, and the breakfast facilities were very convenient.
This accommodation was very affordable. But you get what you pay for. It is a very basic accommodation. Good placement in National Park and is close to Tongariro crossing.
Good, strong showers which was perfect after a long day of hiking. Great communal bathroom setup (very private). Short drive from Tongariro and Gollums Pools
The Park Hotel Ruapehu doesn't look much on the outside, but has a cozy ambiance once you stay there. The restaurant and bar have a rustic sold feel to them.
Excellent stay with friendly staff. The room was very clean and met our expectations.
The spa was just what we needed after walking the Tongariro Crossing.
Lovely warm rooms and super clean cooking and bathroom/shower facilities. A great spot to stay while enjoying Tongariro National Park or driving South.
