    The isite leaves a lot to be desired.

    The isite leaves a lot to be desired. It could easily go from barely adequate to basic competence by putting boards outside stating the office is closed. As walkers are supposed to register their walks on the mountain you wonder how accurate their information is when the office is closed and there isn’t even a notice board outside for walkers to use to show they’ve left or returned. The village in summer, now the Chateau is closed, has very little available accommodation. There is a shop for basics and Skotel runs a great restaurant and bar.

    Absolutely recommend the 2 hour walk to Taranaki Falls.

    Absolutely recommend the 2 hour walk to Taranaki Falls. You can do it in sneakers, some parts are lovely bush right alongside the river. The landscape keeps changing. Its beautiful and the air is so fresh. There's a table at the falls so take your picnic and stop for a while. Get your caffeine fix from TNT Pataka Food Truck at Whakapapa Holiday Park, they make a decent coffee and the food looked good too. Unfortunately some places in the area closed due to staff shortages, so it might pay to check for what is open when you visit.

    Hi, It is better to plan your trip for at least two days.

    Hi, It is better to plan your trip for at least two days. You can enrol your kids to ski school at the nearby school for a longer duration trip so that they learn the art of skiing. Bringing chains with the car will help you to revisit the Whakapapa skiing location often and reduce the commute cost. All in all, it was good to see snow all around especially if you are coming from the northern part of NZ.

    Meant to say in my review last night that we had a lovely waitress for dinner, young girl,Lisa? And the main reason we didn't pay for the dinner was because it came 10past10pm, besides one was not eatable.

    The staff and food were excellent but the Hotel was understaffed because of "Grab 1" patrons filling the Hotel. The Management should not have allowed the "Grab 1 " to sell more places than the number of staff they had could provide the correct service.

    visitor centre so welcoming and helpful about weather forecast, sorting out car permits for leaving our vehicles for 4 days while we do the tongariro northern circuit. beautiful and tidy village, everything was so clean and well sign posted. cafe in the chateau, beautiful food, welcoming, and kept clean with clear rules for COVID. skotel motel was just perfect for our group of 12 trampers doing Tongariro northern circuit was just amazing with perfect weather and all DOC huts were welcoming, comfortable and the views of nature, volcanic landscape, mountains, bushes, scrubs, flowers, rivers, streams, waterfalls, springs, sun, moon, stars in the sky were awe inspiring, precious and irreplaceable. it was so wonderful to only see few people around - huge difference from 2 years ago where it was absolutely packed on the Tongaririo crossing - 4, 000 people on the trail

    Old school ski lodge, cosy and close to the hiking trails. Felt good being isolated away from the world in the national park. Dinner was good and portion large. I was a bit unsure about the condition/comfort of the property due to other reviews, but I did not notice the issues they mentioned, such as damp/mould smell, noisy etc. Due to conditions we weren’t able to do the alpine crossing, however did the upper tama lake hike. The accom was good value and suitable for 3 star. I would recommend.

    Place is just beautiful. Even though it is an old building, it was impeccably clean and the staff was just amazing. The walks around the hotel and proximity with the ski field also add lots to the experience. Restaurant serves nice dishes and drinks in an acceptable price, so no need to go out for anything. if you look for a nice place to relax, this is the place. Highly recommended.

    We come to the Chateau quite often and we always love it. It has a "Grand Budapest Hotel" feel, and even the slightly shabby nature of some of the areas just adds to the charm. The staff were great and did their best to accommodate the needs of our large group. We held a private function in the Ngauruhoe room and it was a fantastic space for our group. The surrounding area is magic.

    Perfect location. Oldie world charm and the staff were attentive. Our dinner was very enjoyable. I had fresh oysters and an amazing sirloin steak. Cocktails and drinks in the lobby lounge were good and quick. The Hotel is not comparable with a modern 4 star hotel. It was built in 1929 and kept it’s style. We will be back!

    This is a majestic old hotel that is classy in many ways. The room was comfortable and the staff were very helpful. The location is very good but only if you plan to take a major hike on Mt. Tongariro. For our purposes the locale was not so convenient nor was the area itself particularly attractive.

    Good location and great views from the Ngauruhoe room, even if the weather did close in and we lost our view of the mountain. Staff were friendly and attentive both in the dining room and around the hotel.

    It is close to Whakapapa ski area, about 10 min drive from the hotel when the road is not icy. We stayed in a cabin that can accommodate 6 people.
