Tongariro National Park hotel guide. Independent hotel in Tongariro National Park, Manawatū-Whanganui

"Great location. Room clean but very basic. Food ... well, there are good options a short drive away. "

"Surpassed my expectations: spacious apartment, well-maintained, with all the necessary cooking equipment. Easy to park; convenient location, with a good supermarket nearby, I recommend this place. And go to Tongariro Rafting Co. if you can! Great way to explore the area"

"We were arriving late so a quick call to arrange late check in was easy. We stayed 3 nights in total with a 4 day trip away in between nights which was made so easy by the owner to allow us the same chalet for each night. Easy walk to town and we did drive some nights. Very quiet and rooms very clean. Everything we needed including a hot spa and sauna . Thank you!"

"Classic traditional lodge, love the wooden structures and homey feel, felt welcome. Nice patio to watch the sunset!!"

"Room was clean, and staff were friendly. Outdoor spa seemed to be closed although there was one in the large shower/ combined bathtub in our room. The hotels.com booking app said there was a clothes washer/drier inside our room, but this was incorrect and falsely advertised. (There was a communal laundry for the building however.) Very dated decor and much like faulty towers the way things like the wall heaters and some PowerPoints didn’t work. No room service during our 2 night stay but plenty of towels, coffee and other supplies in our room. Seemed a high price for what we got."

"The cabin was fantastic, very clean and tidy - most of all very, very quiet. The attention from the female caretaker was outstanding, she made sure everything was to our satisfaction, all in all a great stay. Would recommend to anyone to stay there."

"Location was ok,food was good,the town centre food options could have been better we would go back and do more of the river walk,staff helpful issue with tv but that got fixed."

"The bed was comfy, room was cozy, close to national park and restaurants. Hot tub area needs some attention. Chairs were worn and cushions moldy. No instructions on how to work hot tub. TV only has 13 channels. Otherwise perfect for 1 night."

"The staff are amazing. Especially to the owner. He helped us immensely. We had a car issue and he helped us and made us feel welcome. The owner went over and above and beyond to accommodate us. It’s not out of pity. You can tell he's just one of those people you rarely come across who are willing to help. Has a kind caring personality. Big shout-out to the owner. "
