Tongariro Crossing Lodge

National Park

Set in tranquil surroundings with large landscaped grounds and a picturesque garden terrace with mountain views, Tongariro Crossing Lodge offers uniquely spacious rooms with historic character. A garden is featured. The staff provided exceptional guidance so that we could take stunning views of the mountains during sunset. Very high quality breakfast. Overall, exceeded my expectations in this rather remote/resource limited (to a city person at least) location.

Ruapehu Country Lodge 4 stars

Ohakune

Ruapehu Country Lodge is located within a 15-minute drive of Tongariro National Park, home of the world-renowned Tongariro Crossing. Free Wi-Fi access is available in this lodge.

Ruapehu Country Lodge is situated alongside Waimarino Golf Course, and is just a 5-minute drive from Ohakune's town centre. Wanganui Airport is 1 hour and 15 minutes' drive away. Bernie and Marie were absolutely delightful hosts and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. The property is conveniently located near to the various activities in the area, which made travelling to and from a breeze! Breakfast was also amazing, and with sheep and alpaca at the property as well, I can’t recommend this stay more!

Lancewood Lodge

Bulls

Located in Bulls in the Manawatu region and Palmerston North Convention Centre reachable within 31 km, Lancewood Lodge provides accommodation with free WiFi, BBQ facilities, a garden and free private parking. We especially liked the sitting room area with the tv and that we could stream Netflix. It was really warm inside and felt like our own home for the night. We liked how we were allowed to use the kitchen facilities and the multiple bathrooms. Rooms were nice and clean with comfy beds and nice mink-like blankets.
