Search Lodges in Mount Ruapehu Ski Area

"While we enjoyed our visit to the National Park, this accommodation was a bit disappointing compared to the many other stays we have had in New Zealand. A few updates would go a long way in improving guest comfort (replace noisy bathroom fan, replace tiny mirror in bathroom, provide wardrobe, shelf, or hangers for guest belongings). Staff were pleasant and access to the communal kitchen was helpful. "

"Great stay,nice clean room. Restaurant and bar with great staff. Would stay again."

"Clean room, very friendly staff. Cannot comment on nearby shops except for a Burger King nearby, since having a very short stay."

"Clean and spacious. Not too far to walk to town. "

"Good location "

"I had booked a cabin without an ensuite and used the communal shower very early in the morning to avoid the rush from campers. It was still pitch black when I returned to what I thought was my cabin, where I had left the lights off but locked the door. I put my key in the lock, turned it to open and entered the cabin. I was closing the door to lock it, still in the dark, which in hindsight was just plain stupid, when someone yelled out and turned on the lights. A man was sitting up in the bed looking as startled as I felt. I had mistakenly returned to an adjacent cabin in the dark and my key had fit and turned in the lock, apparently unlocking the door, though I can't confirm that it was actually locked. Luckily, it was obvious I wasn't an intentional intruder as I profusely apologized and left. If the keys are not, in fact, dedicated to individual cabins that would be entirely unacceptable and represent a serious security risk. I am thankful the cabin had not been occupied by a woman, an aggressive person or someone with a weapon!"

"The owners were not very kind or understanding. Shuttles to hikes was also confusing and not clear timing, or pickup locations. Make sure to I get confirmations on pick ups and drop off times!!! Or, find another place to stay!! "

"What wonderful accommodations on beautiful grounds right by Lake Taupo! Was getting nervous on our road trip that there was nothing out here, but Tongariro Lodge exceeded any expectations. We stayed in a very comfortable villa, did a load of laundry, and enjoyed a delicious breakfast. Would highly recommend!"

"We have stayed here a few times. Very handy to the main town, restaurant and cafes. Spacious, clean, modern and they have a few spas you can use. We will be back again!"
