Top Retaruke Hotel Reviews

The Park Hotel Ruapehu

The Park Hotel Ruapehu

2/10 Terrible
"The room was clean and adequate for a night’s sleep after a long day of hiking. However, we were very dissatisfied and disappointed that the spa pools closed at 8 pm and only reopened at 10 am. We arrived around that time, and we specifically booked this place because of its amenities. The restaurant also closed at 8 pm, and breakfast was only available until 9:30 am. This meant we were unable to use the hot pools during our stay, and we could not have breakfast there either. I would not recommend this hotel, nor would I stay there again. Considering it was a Saturday night, I expected longer opening hours."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Retaruke?
The best area to stay in Retaruke is directly within the Retaruke Valley, specifically around the Retaruke River Road, as this is where the majority of quality accommodation options are located.

This area is characterised by its remote, rural setting, located amongst rolling hills and native bush. It's a place where the Retaruke River winds through the valley, offering a tranquil escape. The main road, Retaruke River Road, connects the various lodges and properties to the wider region.

For couples seeking a romantic getaway or a peaceful retreat, staying in one of the luxury lodges dotted along the Retaruke River Road is an excellent choice. These lodges often feature private settings, stunning views, and amenities like outdoor tubs or fires, providing an idyllic environment for relaxation and reconnecting. Access to walking trails and opportunities for stargazing are also common.

Families looking for an active holiday will find the Retaruke Valley suitable for outdoor adventures. Many properties offer direct access to the river for fishing or kayaking, and there are numerous opportunities for bushwalks and exploring the natural surroundings.
When is the best time to go to Retaruke?
The best time to go to Retaruke is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and dry, making it ideal for outdoor activities.

During this period, the average daily temperature hovers around 20-25°C, providing superb conditions for exploring the Whanganui National Park and engaging in river-based activities on the Retaruke River. The longer daylight hours also mean more time to enjoy the natural beauty of the region, from hiking trails to scenic drives.

Couples looking for an active holiday will find this season particularly appealing. They can enjoy kayaking or canoeing on the river, or explore the numerous walking tracks through the native bush. Many of the local accommodations offer guided tours during this time, ensuring an easy experience.

For those seeking a tranquil escape surrounded by nature, the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) also offer pleasant weather and fewer crowds.
