Manowhenua Lodge

National Park

Set in National Park, within 16 km of Mount Ruapehu and 17 km of Taranaki Falls, Manowhenua Lodge offers accommodation with a shared lounge and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is non-smoking and is located 23 km from Whakapapa.

At the hostel the rooms come with a shared bathroom and bed linen. Honestly, the best hostel I've ever stayed at! The owners were the most welcoming, loving and caring people. They made sure to talk to everyone, they even remembered the names of every single person who stayed there at the moment. The whole place was super clean and well kept. Kitchen had everything you need for cooking. The living room is amazing to hang out, watch tv, play games or get to know the other guests (and make some new friends!). Would highly recommend staying there. You would not be disappointed!
