The Park Hotel Ruapehu
The rooms were clean, a nice stay, but small and missed details. A jug was provided but we could not fill it from the one tap provided in the bathroom sink, either shower or filling by cup was available. The toilet seat does not feel sturdy for the 110kg plus sizes, and at only 6ft my feet were off ...

Mountain Heights Lodge
Really enjoyed our stay at Mountain Heights Lodge. They were so helpful, as we had accidentally booked for the wrong night. Rooms were very comfortable and clean. We also appreciated the continental breakfast in the morning. Would absolutely stay here again.

Rocky Mountain Chalets
The chalet was very nice, clean, well equipped, and comfortable. We greatly appreciated the in-room washer and dryer! Note* the dryer does get VERY hot on cotton/regular mode. We tried out the hot tubs too-very nice!

Motuoapa Bay Chalets
Parking was easy, unit was clean and cosy and as pictured, only downside was the main road traffic noise, otherwise a pleasant and convenient stop off midway between Auckland and Wellington.
