Mountain Heights Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The property met our expectations as the room was exactly as it looked in the web pics. The check-in was fast and easy, the room was clean and wi-fi was great. We could park just in front of our room. Even when the lodge is close to the road, we could sleep very well, with good black out curtains. "

The Park Hotel Ruapehu

10/10 Excellent

"When visiting this part of the country, it is very remote, and the park hotel was the perfect spot away from everything. While the rooms are small, they are comfortable and easily accessible. The restaurant also is very good and has breathtaking views of the mountainside from their patio area. While there is nothing really around other than a small convenience store, the hotel more than makes up for that with their excellent service. Would highly recommend!"
