"Every time we travel to Taupo we stay at Mototere holiday park. It is clean, well maintained and friendly staff. Trout fishing over the road is good. Trucks passing on main road through the night we thought would be a problem, after our first stay it didn't become an issue at all. Only 15 minutes travel from Taupo it is a excellent place to rest up and relax. Thank you Mototere holiday park, we will be back"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Tongariro?
The best area to stay in Tongariro for most visitors is Whakapapa Village, located directly within the Tongariro National Park, or the nearby town of National Park Village.

Whakapapa Village is the main hub for visitors wanting direct access to the Tongariro Alpine Crossing and the ski fields of Mount Ruapehu. It's a small, purpose-built village located at the base of the mountain, offering hotels and lodges. The visitor centre is here, providing essential information and weather updates for the Crossing. It's the starting point for several shorter walks as well.

Couples looking for a convenient and focused outdoor adventure will find Whakapapa Village ideal. Staying here means you're already in the National Park, allowing for early starts on hikes or easy access to the ski slopes without needing to travel far. The village provides a comfortable base with dining options right at your doorstep.

National Park Village, situated just a short drive from Whakapapa, offers a wider range of accommodation, including hotels, motels, and holiday homes. It's a slightly larger settlement with more dining choices and amenities. This village is also a popular base for those undertaking the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, with shuttle services readily available.

Families often prefer National Park Village due to its broader selection of accommodation types, which can include options with self-catering facilities.
When is the best time to go to Tongariro?
The best time to visit Tongariro largely depends on what you'd like to do, with the summer months of December to February being ideal for hiking, and July to September being great for winter sports.

For those keen on hiking, especially the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, the summer offers the most reliable weather. You'll experience longer daylight hours, warmer temperatures, and generally clearer trails, making for a more comfortable and enjoyable trek across the volcanic landscape. This period is also excellent for exploring the many shorter walks and admiring the natural beauty of the national park without the challenges of snow and ice.

If skiing or snowboarding is more your style, the winter season brings consistent snow to the Whakapapa and Tūroa ski fields on Mount Ruapehu. During these months, the mountains transform into a winter wonderland, offering a range of slopes for all abilities. It's a fantastic time for families looking for a winter holiday, with options for beginners and more experienced enthusiasts alike.
