Had self contained unit which seemed brand new. Helpful staff and pickup right at driveway. Charge for shuttle luckily we could hike next day as I would not want to be stuck out here waiting. Nothing out here. You come to hike

Fine for a night...
Although it was fine for what we were looking for and the owner was nice, the place is quite run down. We stayed at a number of parks across New Zealand and I’m sorry to say that this was our least favourite. We really struggled to cook in the kitchen as it is badly equipped, every other place we’ve been at had basics like oil, salt, pepper etc but all this kitchen has are pots and pans.

Not a good place to stay
We have used this place in the past and the experience was good but this time we were not allow to use the cabins because they decided that cabins is for couples, no kids allowed on the cabins. There were spider webs on the ceiling and also fleas that fortunately didn't bite my kids only me. We will not be back because with kids is handy to have ensuite cabins and they are not longer using that for families, we thought it was going to be ok but it wasn't and also the cleanliness is not acceptable. The whole place is in need for some maintenance as it is easy for bugs to come inside when you see holes on the facade, it looks old and run down.

Get what you pay for! (In a positive way!)
Really convenient place to stay if you're doing the Tongariro Crossing as shuttle bus picks up just outside and there is a free day park service.

Excellent vantage point for trekking
This is a budget camp ground/holiday park. We stayed in a two room unit which slept 5. The accommodation was a little cramped but tidy. The facilities are largely communal but well looked after. There is quite a mix of European and American visitors which makes meal times interesting. There is never a shortage of conversation if you are interested.

Cramped & below par
Not at all as it was advertised online through Wotif, this was one disappointment after another. From the tiny cramped box of a room to the lack of linen for an international traveler; from the stand-in manager from overseas to the poor communication, this may be a hikers delight but certainly not a family-friendly holiday park as advertised. Ammenity block closed for three hours with no communication on where else to go. Double-charged for booking already paid for through Expedia and still waiting for refund. No wifi so couldn't confirm I'd already paid for the booking at the time of check in. Rude hikers stomping around verandas from 4:30am until they clear out at 7am. Don't expect a sleep in here. Not the place for a lengthy stay, if at all! Worst experience.

Cabin was way smaller than expected but everything was clean. Communal toilets were exceptionally clean. Take your own pillow if you get a cabin.

Good value for money
Not my first choice for a snowboarding trip as this place is a bit of a trip from National Park village (no walking to the pub). But not far from Whakapapa skifield and very handy to the Tongariro Crossing. Also very good value.

School holiday and visit to mt. Ruapehu
The facility and staff were great, the only thing that im not happy is mobile network availability no signal, though this is beyond control of the management of the facility.

Pleasant stay for a family ski trip.
It is a great place to stay in a self contained apartment even though it is quite far from a lot of places. It will be awesome if a coffee/tea facility is provided during the stay. Overall a pleasant place for a holiday trip.

A park at the crossing
The hotel is at the crossing and you can not miss it when heading to national park or ski field. Just be award of the park has the shared bathroom. The staffs are friendly and given a hand to our tour guiding. But I have a problem with the location which is just in the mid way between national park and Turangi. It has nothing to buy, to eat, to play or no gasoline. I suggest to stay in Turangi which has a good selection of restaurants.

Lovely Hosts
We had a lovely stay at the Tongariro Holiday Park. The owners of the campsite were very informative and helpful. The new bathrooms were amazing. The shower pressure was perfect, and there was plenty of space in the shower itself. The racks in the shower space were very convenient in keeping your dry clothes DRY

Good location, close to mountain.
Clean and tidy. Could do with an up-lift of standard cabins as our door was not shutting properly. Had to slam it hard. There were also a group of guys staying close to us who were having a party in the room next door who kept us up till midnight with their vomiting, yelling, screaming as walls are paper thin.

Hotel by Tongariro
Small room stayed in cabin $60 p night. Had facilities that were reasonable. Toilets and showers were cleaned from 10-1pm which wasn't very good. And was asked to leave when we were making bfast, so they could clean the kitchen facility when it was spotless already.
