    The isite leaves a lot to be desired.

    The isite leaves a lot to be desired. It could easily go from barely adequate to basic competence by putting boards outside stating the office is closed. As walkers are supposed to register their walks on the mountain you wonder how accurate their information is when the office is closed and there isn’t even a notice board outside for walkers to use to show they’ve left or returned. The village in summer, now the Chateau is closed, has very little available accommodation. There is a shop for basics and Skotel runs a great restaurant and bar.

    Absolutely recommend the 2 hour walk to Taranaki Falls.

    Absolutely recommend the 2 hour walk to Taranaki Falls. You can do it in sneakers, some parts are lovely bush right alongside the river. The landscape keeps changing. Its beautiful and the air is so fresh. There's a table at the falls so take your picnic and stop for a while. Get your caffeine fix from TNT Pataka Food Truck at Whakapapa Holiday Park, they make a decent coffee and the food looked good too. Unfortunately some places in the area closed due to staff shortages, so it might pay to check for what is open when you visit.

    Hi, It is better to plan your trip for at least two days.

    Hi, It is better to plan your trip for at least two days. You can enrol your kids to ski school at the nearby school for a longer duration trip so that they learn the art of skiing. Bringing chains with the car will help you to revisit the Whakapapa skiing location often and reduce the commute cost. All in all, it was good to see snow all around especially if you are coming from the northern part of NZ.

    Meant to say in my review last night that we had a lovely waitress for dinner, young girl,Lisa? And the main reason we didn't pay for the dinner was because it came 10past10pm, besides one was not eatable.

    The staff and food were excellent but the Hotel was understaffed because of "Grab 1" patrons filling the Hotel. The Management should not have allowed the "Grab 1 " to sell more places than the number of staff they had could provide the correct service.

    visitor centre so welcoming and helpful about weather forecast, sorting out car permits for leaving our vehicles for 4 days while we do the tongariro northern circuit. beautiful and tidy village, everything was so clean and well sign posted. cafe in the chateau, beautiful food, welcoming, and kept clean with clear rules for COVID. skotel motel was just perfect for our group of 12 trampers doing Tongariro northern circuit was just amazing with perfect weather and all DOC huts were welcoming, comfortable and the views of nature, volcanic landscape, mountains, bushes, scrubs, flowers, rivers, streams, waterfalls, springs, sun, moon, stars in the sky were awe inspiring, precious and irreplaceable. it was so wonderful to only see few people around - huge difference from 2 years ago where it was absolutely packed on the Tongaririo crossing - 4, 000 people on the trail

    I appreciated the policy of zero waste - easily used recycle containers in the guest kitchen, natural cruelty free soap conditioner and shampoo, collecting the soaps and reusing for animal shampoos, no plastic bin liners and kitchen food scraps for animal feed. Also reasonably priced meals- local produce where possible -free range eggs, gluten free,vegan vegetarian meals available. Liked the helpful friendly staff. Marvellous view in v.peaceful surroundings Easy access to Whakapapa village

    We loved the olde age grandeur of the hotel. The facilities and lounges were comfortable and easy to access, the meals were beautifully prepared and presented. The staff were exceptional in their professionalism, friendly and courteous and always prepared to go the extra mile to ensure our needs were met. And anticipating our needs? The views and surrounding scenery were amazing

    The cabin was excellent and had plenty of room for us. We could cook our own food or eat the at the restaurant or cafe. The Chateau is so close to the mountain to drive up and enjoy skiing for the day. There were other things like the cinema to enjoy at the main hotel. Great view from our cabin to see Mt.Tongariro and Ngaruahoe.

    This is a majestic old hotel that is classy in many ways. The room was comfortable and the staff were very helpful. The location is very good but only if you plan to take a major hike on Mt. Tongariro. For our purposes the locale was not so convenient nor was the area itself particularly attractive.

    Staff were attentive & friendly and the room we stayed in was clean,however it’s clear that the Hotel is in need of a major renovations. The windows were rotten & the facilities were old & tired. The highlights would have to be its location and the dinner was sublime

    Nothing that was asked was a problem. From the decision to ask to view both options then change the room from cabin to hotel room was pleasantly dealt with. If the hotel was busier it may have been different.

    It is close to Whakapapa ski area, about 10 min drive from the hotel when the road is not icy. We stayed in a cabin that can accommodate 6 people.
