The Ruapehu Park Hotel is at the foot of a large ski field and volcano at Mt Ruapehu. It is surrounded by two other famous mountains Ngauruhoe and Tongariro.

The natural setting around the Lodge is ideal for mountain biking, rafting, hiking, rock climbing, fishing or relaxing in thermal springs. We really loved the family rooms - they were warm despite the cold temperatures. The hot water systems (i.e. the showers) were excellent. Finding the hotel and accessing the car park was also very easy. The restaurant (the spiral) also served very high quality food. The cost of the rooms was outstanding value for money.

Situated within 16 km of Taranaki Falls and 22 km of Whakapapa in National Park, Tongariro Estate provides accommodation with seating area. The property has mountain and garden views, and is 16 km from Mount Ruapehu. The apartment features rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi.

Guests at the apartment can enjoy skiing and cycling nearby, or make the most of the garden. The apartment we stayed in was toasty warm, with beautifully clean beds, bathrooms and kitchen. Parking was right outside and finding the place is a breeze. It also had all the little touches that make things easier, for example the kitchen had not just ample cooking equipment, but also basic condiments, sugar, salt oil...etc). Great hosts, they were super responsive, helpful and kind when contacted. We will definitely stay here again.
