Located in the Tongariro National Park, The Park Hotel Ruapehu offers affordable accommodation in a stunning alpine setting. Guests are provided with free parking and 500MB of free WiFi.

The Ruapehu Park Hotel is at the foot of a large ski field and volcano at Mt Ruapehu. It is surrounded by two other famous mountains Ngauruhoe and Tongariro. We really loved the family rooms - they were warm despite the cold temperatures. The hot water systems (i.e. the showers) were excellent. Finding the hotel and accessing the car park was also very easy. The restaurant (the spiral) also served very high quality food. The cost of the rooms was outstanding value for money.

Located in National Park in the Manawatu region, Pukenui Lodge provides accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

The lodge offers a sun terrace.

After a day of hiking, skiing or fishing, guests can relax in the garden or in the shared lounge area. Love this place - always so clean, welcoming and cosy. Has great facilities for children and the shared kitchen works great for prepping lunches for up the mountain. A glass of wine on the deck looking at the mountain was a highlight for me!
