Search Castles in National Park Village

We spent three nights at the Lodge. It is an excellent base for exploring Tongariro. Our room was very comfortable and the lodge had a laundry and drying room. Breakfasts were very good. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay. Ps. make sure you meet Lucky, a very friendly feline who befriended us 😻

Manowhenua Lodge was a great accommodation with great facilities that made it fun and feel homely. A big part of that was the service from Tracey too! She even lent me some hiking poles for my trek abd was so knowledgeable. This is the only accommodation I'd stay in, in National Park from now on. It was also great socially. 10/10

Excellent family run business. Nice and helpful folks.

Great place to stsy

Yes on both accounts.

Great location staff excellent great drying room for wet clothes

We stayed here for two nights, before and after our Tongariro Crossing trip. The room was clean and had everything we needed. Check in and communication was straightforward. The ear plugs left on the table came in handy as the property is located next to a fairly busy road and trucks transporting cars stop and do their driver change-over next to it. Also the carpet in the room could do with a refresh as it does not smell very nice.

Heather and Peter are great hosts and make you feel welcome and comfortable immediately. Room was very tastefully decorated and had everything required plus. Heather and Peter had lots of local knowledge about best sights and routes to take. The presence of the alpacas and sheep in the garden which you can feed gives the B&B a USP. Rikki Martin is also adorable!!

Had a lovely stay here. Room is compact but comfy and clean. Lovely spa and pool, very welcome after a long day trekking.

We were just passing through but wished we stayed longer. Rooms were fantastic, had a Queen suite with an en-suite and it was stunning - cannot recommend a stay here enough. I can imagine in ski season this is the perfect spot to begin and end your day, especially with a lovely pub, restaurant and warmed pool!

Great stay. It took a little while to get used to the fact that this property is unmanned but it actually worked very well. Check in was easy. The kitchen was well stocked. The shower pressure was great - although the shower is protected only by a curtain so not super private but wasn’t an issue. The bed was comfy. We stayed in a private room which even had a smart tv! Hostel luxury! Would definitely recommend. It is in the middle of nowhere but easy to access Whakapapa village and the other...

Located between the 2 main parts of town. Easy parking on site. Nice traditional motor inn. Very clean and suitably equipped.

Room very well equipped with lovely outlook Good parking and easy to walk to restaurants etc. Enjoyed the walks available Pretty quiet despite the main road being close.

We loved our little chalet. It was really cute. The kitchen was well equipped so we were able to cook there on both nights and the beds were all very comfortable. The chalet was very clean too.

Clean, comfy spacious room with comfy bed. Nice outdoor seating area. Would have liked a washing line to dry clothes instead of having to use a dryer. Lovely village.
