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.

This was the perfect location to overnight after checking out the local mountain drives and ski-resorts. Very cute railway station and a very special shout-out to the staff at the National Park Hotel (Thanks for putting on all of that 70's content...AND fire-lighting). Would love to mention you by name, but not sure whether you would want that. Anyway, thank you ALL for the memory.
The views of the Tongariro mountains around National Park...
The views of the Tongariro mountains around National Park are excellent. It is a quiet little village with a good bar. There is no shop so buy your food before you head to National Park. National Park is an excellent base if you are planning to do the Tongariro Alpine Crossing walk as you can get a shuttle to and from the walk from here.

Excellent place for hiking and trekking. Place is near by famous mountain area. If require, all the hiking gears can rent from near by shop. As an alternative to Alpine crossing, I recommend Taranaki falls, Lower Tama and Upper Tama lakes trekking.

It’s a great place to visit if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. Venture into the outdoors there are so many good walking tracks and of course in the winter when the snow comes skiing as well!

It's a great base for exploring Tongariro National Park's hiking trails. Most trails are within a 10-minute drive. Keep in mind that the village only has two restaurants. Personally, I recommend the pub next to the mini golf for a good meal.

Great views of the mountains.
Great views of the mountains. Not many eating options but it is a tiny town/village. Schnapps bar is cozy and decent pub food. Spiral restaurant buffet breakfast was a bit average, a la carte menu looked better but wasn’t available on Sunday

Always enjoy the atmosphere in this beautiful rugged environment.
The Walks are very nice with beautiful scenery in every direction. Ohakune is also an interesting town with much to enjoy with cafe's, quaint eateries & many options for accommodation.
Very close to the Ketetahi Carpark for the Tongariro Crossing. Mobile phone service with Spark only - none for Vodafone or 2 Degrees. Good to know for anyone considering future bookings :-) Also make sure to bring your cooking pots and utensils, and own bowls, cups, plates and cutlery as in the description - the kitchen ovens, fridges and microwaves are there to use but you must bring your own cooking and eating gear.
The young guy working in the shop/reception area was wonderful - really cheerful, positive and welcoming to everyone. My bedroom, the kitchen and lounge were all comfortable and kept nice and clean. There's a smart TV with Netflix etc in the lounge, and multiple sources of heat to keep you cosy in this very cold village. Only a 5 minute walk from the train station/bus stop.
The lodge is bright and colourful. We had our own bunk room which was close to the bathrooms. The kitchen was big with lots of utensils. Great location for anyone doing the Tongariro Crossing or exploring the National Park. Adjacent bar was fun to pop in to and staff at both the hostel and bar were very friendly. Can highly recommend catching sunrise, the stars and sunset.
There is a large kitchen, where guests can prepare their own meals. A pub and hotel restaurant are close by, but can be very crowded. Short driving distance to National Park. We had a room with private bathroom, which was nice. The normal rooms with shared facilities are quite small. There is also a large television room with comfortable seating.
Everything was fantastic, they were very kind and collaborative in changing both the days of stay and the date of the shuttle to Tongariro Crossing due to bad weather. Thank you so much for allowing us to make the changes and undertake the wonderful Crossing. Top structure
Great stay, house was super comfortable for our family, had everything we needed and was really clean and warm. Hosts were so friendly and helpful. Really easy to get to the shuttle for the Tongariro crossing. Excellent place to stay, highly recommended. Thank you!
The room is nice and comfortable with nice view outside. Small kitchen is located beside each two rooms with some ingredients while having refrigerator to keep your food, very convenient. It is well located while you would like to go to Tongariro national park.
Very clean and quiet; super comfortable beds; very welcoming owner; lovely garden area; close to shop and restaurants; perfect place to stay if visiting Tongariro National Park; kitchen was well-equipped; guest laundry available; parking close to unit.
Great location for Tongariro. Room was not large, but was comfortable and well equipped. Liked the common area outside for guests to mingle. When we visited they had a Grillhaus food truck parked all day in the parking lot, which was awesome.
It felt like a hikers hotel, a good buzz. The rooms are basic and the food hearty. It’s everything you need before and after doing the Tongariro Crossing. Would thoroughly recommend
Clean and spacious rooms. We also liked the way they help you organize the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, from renting out hiking boots to providing shuttle service to and from there.
This accommodation was very affordable. But you get what you pay for. It is a very basic accommodation. Good placement in National Park and is close to Tongariro crossing.
Excellent location right in National Park village. Staff was helpful and lovely. Outdoor bath was perfect for relaxing after doing the Tongariro Alpine Crossing.
National park is a good location for the Tongariro Alpine walk. Shuttles go from there to the start, but there are better accomodation options in Turangi
