"This was an amazing lodge to stay while we travelled around Tongariro National Park. The owners are very friendly and want to make your stay as pleasant as possible. I would HIGHLY recommend staying in this hidden gem. If I ever come back I will most certainly stay here again. Also, their breakfast was outstanding. "

### 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!"
