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.LinAustralia - 8.0Scored 8.0
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.LisaNew Zealand - 8.0Scored 8.0
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 trailAAnonymousUnited Kingdom

- 8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 1,984 reviewsThe location couldn't have been better for hiking - the hotel is literally on the trail head for the Tongariro Northern Circuit/ Tama lakes track/ Taranaki falls loop. The bar/restaurant had lovely views from the terrace and a cozy fire place with blankets. We had a backpackers queen room, which was the cheapest room with it's own bathroom we could find in the area. It was very small but had everything we needed.
NatalieUnited Kingdom - 7.4Scored 7.4GoodRated good· 1,018 reviewsDo not book the external cabin. Grim, cold, dark and highly overpriced. We walked in and straight back out again. The staff kindly moved us to the hotel. The room was charming and comfortable. We did not realize we hadn't actually booked the hotel, but An adjunct to it. The staff were consistently excellent.MelissaNew Zealand
- 8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 1,984 reviewsSuper chill alpine hotel with stunning views all around, especially from the bar. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The food was tasty, with special mention going to the great chips. Room was small and cosy and with everything we needed. Will definitely stay here again if we get a chance to come back
ShaunAustralia - 7.4Scored 7.4GoodRated good· 1,018 reviewsThis 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.
KjellUnited States of America - 8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 1,984 reviewsStaff were great, very welcoming and warm - from front of house to cleaning staff. Great location - perfect for us as we were walking the Tama Lakes, which starts outside the hotel. Good sized rooms. Had dinner there one night and it was great. Have stayed before and will stay again.
RobertNew Zealand - 8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 1,984 reviewsGreat location if you’re heading to Tongariro crossing. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The food at the hotel restaurant was tasty and the portions pretty big. The room (standard queen) was on the smaller side, which was fine since we were there only for sleeping.MihaelaUnited States of America
