    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.

    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! Tongariro Crossing Taranaki Track

    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.

    Great location for those doing the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, as the shuttle will pick you up in front of the hotel. Comfy beds, though the twin room did feel a bit cramped. Solid buffet breakfast and nice restaurant. The hot tub was amazing for a post hike soak. Highly recommended! Also, check their website for a special package for visitors doing the crossing!

    Perfect location before completing the Tongariro Circuit. Friendly welcome from owners. Despite a reduced dinner menu, the bolognaise and lamb shanks meals were delicious. It was New Year's Eve, but we had a quiet night, no noisy parties in the hotel. We felt sorry for the owners having to manage with staffing issues at a busy time.

    I have never stayed in a container before, and I was a bit apprehensive, but I found it extremely spacious and comfortable for such a small space. The shower was also quite good and the rest of the facilities were sufficient for what we were there to do, the Tongariro Crossing. Hot bath after such a long day was also much appreciated.

    Great location to access hikes in Tongariro National Park or go to Whakapapa skifield, good kitchen facilities, room with heater, friendly staff. Beautiful views of the maunga (mountains) straight out of the hostel window. Just off the main highway, very close to the gas station/supermarket.

    It was a nice peaceful area and was close to Tongariro crossing which is what i was there for. I didn't use any of the facilities basically just the room, it had a heater in there so was good to keep warm. Seemed to be pretty clean. Staff friendly, no issues really

    We booked here last minute as we had changed our plans for the Tongariro Alpine Crossing Hike. Due to double booking we were upgraded as it was our honeymoon. The rooms were basic but just what we needed for a night stay before the hike. Very compact.
