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.

Shuttles services to the Tongariro Alpine Crossing can be booked at the lodge.

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.

Looking for a cabin?

For the active travellers, a chalet is a great mix of the outdoors and the snug inside. Usually fully furnished and self-catered, chalets are typically wooden and in the Alpine region of Europe, but can also be found elsewhere in the world. Characterised by their sloped roofs, chalets can be single units or separate apartments, and are ideal for skiing holidays.

    We booked the accommodation in order to hike the Tongariro Crossing as easily as possible and were not disappointed. The shuttle runs not far from the accommodation, making it easy to get an early start to the day. The accommodation contains everything you need to self-cater, plus a very spacious shower!

    The location for starters. The area is awesome. The property was easy to find and very convenient. Our hostess was very friendly and welcoming and everything we needed was available . The property is old but very cosy. Lots of wood to keep the Swiss chalet style. It suited us well for the night.

    Very friendly staff. If I hadn't already booked my shuttle for the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, I would've booked my shuttle services with them (I found out they offered both one-way and return shuttle services afterwards).
