National Park Backpackers, hotel in National Park

Set in National Park, 15 km from Mount Ruapehu, National Park Backpackers offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and barbecue facilities.

The room we were in was spacious and clean, but the bathroom was getting a bit old (the toilet was leaking). It is good enough for a few nights' stay, and the hostel is well located for hiking in the Tongariro National Park. They offer shuttle services for the Tongariro crossing. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Howards Mountain Lodge, hotel in National Park

Featuring a guest lounge with a fireplace, Howard’s Lodge is located in National Park Village, less than 15 km away from Mount Ruapehu. Free WiFi is included.

This was the perfect location to overnight after checking out the local mountain drives and ski-resorts. Very cute railway station and a very special shout-out to the staff at the National Park Hotel (Thanks for putting on all of that 70's content...AND fire-lighting). Would love to mention you by name, but not sure whether you would want that. Anyway, thank you ALL for the memory.

    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.

    Stayed in room #1. Two bedroom, very clean and nicely appointed. Great jumping off point for Tongariro NP. Schnapp's Bar has good food and drinks and is ~ a 5 minute walk away. The Alpine Crossing is exhausting but unlike any other hike in terms of landscape/scenery. It's like walking on another planet at times. I stressed about our 10 year old (less so her 14 year old brother) but she crushed it. Just take your time. And Oreos.

    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.

    We had a wonderful stay at the Tongariro crossing lodge, even though the weather was a little rainy and moody. Having a pleasant environment with a lot of walks around and suggestions from the staff was really helpful. we can confirm as per everyone’s reviews that the breakfast is really nice as well.

    Great location for hiking Tongariro Crossing. Close to a couple of good places eating out for dinner. Used the kitchen facilities to prepare our lunches, plenty of space. Property was clean and facilities were good for our party of 5. Beds were comfortable and plenty of hot water for showers.

    The front desk staff were so helpful in helping us to plan our Tongariro Crossing walk. The kitchen and dining area are well-stocked and very comfortable for preparing food and meeting other travelers. Our family room was a good size and the bathroom was clean.

    Room was good, several bathrooms to use in the hall. Did not use the kitchen. There are several restaurants and bars in town. Close to the National Park (about 10 minute drive) and skiing. Sink in kitchen, also a small shop onsite for snacks and sodas.
