Andre and Sonja’s property was wonderful, and they were incredibly friendly and hospitable. It was homey and warm during our stay which was cold and rainy. They have a beautiful yard looking out into the river and greenery, very peaceful and quiet for those looking for that. We look forward to being back when we have the chance to come down again.

Tracy and the landlords were incredibly warm and accommodating during my stay. Tracy's genuine care and attention made my recovery from an accident much smoother. Their friendliness and support truly made a difference. Highly recommend!
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. 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.

Meant to say in my review last night that we had a lovely waitress for dinner, young girl,Lisa? And the main reason we didn't pay for the dinner was because it came 10past10pm, besides one was not eatable.

Spur of the moment one night stay over a long weekend. Staff all very friendly, from the young lady at checkin to the barstaff and waitresses. Was a busynight. Dinner was very nice. Meals were a good size. Gold old fashioned crumble for dessert. 😋Room was very clean, a little dated but cozy and warm. Comfortable bed. Will definitely go back again. They are catering for a variety of ages, solo traveller's to families who are all into some sort of outdoor activities . So not your usual big city hotel. Had a nice feel about it.
Do not book the external cabin. Grim, cold, dark and highly overpriced. We walked in and straight back out again. The staff kindly moved us to the hotel. The room was charming and comfortable. We did not realize we hadn't actually booked the hotel, but An adjunct to it. The staff were consistently excellent.
Great atmosphere. Lovely open fire. A charming, grand old hotel. Had a very nice dinner and a very good breakfast, too. The pianist in the main room was great - and a charming conversationalist as well. The room was clean and well-appointed.
