This is the perfect spot for exploring Whakapapa on foot and heading up the mountain. The service is always friendly and helpful, and the stunning views and comfortable beds come at a great price. It’s super cosy and warm, making it an inviting place to stay💕
I’ve been returning every time I’m in NZ for the past 10 years and highly recommend it! It has a charming old-school vibe - yes, it’s a bit dated, but that’s part of its quaint and cute appeal.

The room was very comfortable, warm and clean. The reception was very friendly and introduced the hotel facilities to us.

A very tiny room, had our own bathroom, the food there was out of this world by the receptionist didn't seem the friendliest person

All staff were extra helpful . Their knowledge of the area and willingness to share was great. Nothing was too much trouble. The kitchen facilities were good as was access to walks in the area.

Everyone was okay except for this lady at the restaurant who was unnecessarily rude and unhelpful

Not a modern place but the atmosphere is very good and it focused on winter sports and hiking in the summer. Be aware don’t make too much noise on your room the neighbors can hear you. We had great view out of our room.

The hotel is quite old, and the facilities are old. The stove heats up very slowly, the pot has no lid, two of the bedside lamps on the upper and lower bunks are broken, and the bathroom lamp is shown in the picture... The most unbearable thing is that there is no hot water when the fourth person takes a shower in a room with six people, and this happened for two consecutive days. In addition, the scenery picture in the buyer's show was taken at the wooden house at the edge. The actual wooden house is facing other houses, and there is no privacy on the balcony.
The national park itself is very good, but it is recommended to live at the foot of the mountain, which is actually not far away

The hotel is in a very good location with great views. If you book a good room, you can have a first-class view: snow-capped mountains and wilderness. But some rooms face the parking lot.

The hotel is in an excellent location. It is in the Whakapapa Ski Village in Tongariro National Park, close to the Mount Ruapehu Ski Resort. It is also the starting point of many hiking routes, especially Taranaki Falls and Tama Lakes. As the highest altitude backpacker hotel in New Zealand, it is economical. Applicable rooms, (public kitchen and bathroom), restaurant and bar, and hot pool (charged at S$5 per person per half hour). The staff are warm and friendly. Based on the price and location, I give it a five-star rating.
