Good location, especially for the Teranaki Falls walk, but also for Tongoriro Crossing (20 minutes drive to the trail head). The staff was friendly. The room was clean and as-described.

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!

Mountain House located in central Ohakune
Cozy chalet with access to all year adventures
Very handy to the Tongariro crossing and National Park. Warm and cosy. Easy parking. Very well equipped kitchen. Only one change I would request and that is to have it detailed that it’s recommended to take your own sheets, towels and tea towels when booking.
