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.

The 3-bedroom holiday home is fitted with a living room with a flat-screen TV with streaming services, a fully equipped kitchen with an oven and microwave, and 1 bathroom with bath. The holiday home offers bed linen, towels and laundry service.

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 kitchen had plenty of room for everyone. I didn’t have to wait for a shower. It was right next to a good restaurant.

    This was a quirky place with an interesting owner. We stayed in Ruepehu House with just 4 of us. It’s huge (sleeps 10) and well equipped with a wood fire and big kitchen.

    Room was small as expected after reading the other reviews. The pool could be used once you had removed the cover. The spa had hot water but jets were still not working. Management said thanks for letting them know. Other guests had already done that a few weeks ago. The property was fine for a few days to be active and explore the National Park as long as you had prepared for the available facilities (e.g. microwave only, kitchen was only cleaned by guests) but with a bit more TLC and guest mindset it would be a truly outstanding place.

    Staff were very friendly and helpful! The room was very comfortable, we could not complain about the facilities as we had opted for shared. Kitchen was adequately equipped although I did have to tighten a couple of saucepan handles that were very loose.
