The hotel offered more facilities than we expected. Dining room staff for dinner were excellent. Delighted at large dining room. Excellent breakfast. Only problem with room was the bathroom was far too small. Room was warm and cozy.

Room was good, several bathrooms to use in the hall. Did not use the kitchen. There are several restaurants and bars in town. Close to the National Park (about 10 minute drive) and skiing. Sink in kitchen, also a small shop onsite for snacks and sodas.

What Guests Said About Whakapapa Village:
- 8.0Scored 8.0
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.LinAustralia - 8.0Scored 8.0
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.LisaNew Zealand - 8.0Scored 8.0
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.JohnNew Zealand - 10Scored 10

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 trailAAnonymousUnited Kingdom

- 8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 1,980 reviewsExcellent location in Whakapapa village and right on the trail for the Tongariro Northern Circuit. Has a great alpine chalet vibe with a really cosy bar overlooking the volcano. Good family room with bunks and nice fresh white linen. Even though the hotel is slightly dated the proper hotel linen makes everything feel clean and fresh. They had a games room and kids area which was great for the kids - they loved it. Food service was great - nice dinner options and a buffet breakfast which was handy as there is nothing else close by.
LizAustralia - 8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 1,980 reviewsSpur of the moment one night stay over a long weekend. Staff all very friendly, from the young lady at checkin to the barstaff and waitresses. Was a busynight. Dinner was very nice. Meals were a good size. Gold old fashioned crumble for dessert. 😋Room was very clean, a little dated but cozy and warm. Comfortable bed. Will definitely go back again. They are catering for a variety of ages, solo traveller's to families who are all into some sort of outdoor activities . So not your usual big city hotel. Had a nice feel about it.Mary AnnNew Zealand
- 7.4Scored 7.4GoodRated good· 995 reviewsWe were very lucky to be among the very last guests at this iconic hotel, which is closing on February 5th, apparently forever. The staff were struggling to keep the place going and in the main did their very best despite the small number of guests and staff. We wished we had seen it operating in its former grandeur, but were very glad we had done a booking before they stopped taking them, and that it was before the axe finally fell.
Judie AlisonNew Zealand - 8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 1,980 reviewsThe location couldn't have been better for hiking - the hotel is literally on the trail head for the Tongariro Northern Circuit/ Tama lakes track/ Taranaki falls loop. The bar/restaurant had lovely views from the terrace and a cozy fire place with blankets. We had a backpackers queen room, which was the cheapest room with it's own bathroom we could find in the area. It was very small but had everything we needed.
NatalieUnited Kingdom - 7.4Scored 7.4GoodRated good· 995 reviewsPlace 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.

ShaunAustralia - 8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 1,980 reviewsGreat location if you’re heading to Tongariro crossing. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The food at the hotel restaurant was tasty and the portions pretty big. The room (standard queen) was on the smaller side, which was fine since we were there only for sleeping.MihaelaUnited States of America
- 7.4Scored 7.4GoodRated good· 995 reviewsChateau Tongariro Hotel offers beautiful views of its surrounds. I would say that this is the place to stay at Mt Ruapehu. It seems like a great place for families to spend time visiting the ski fields. It is warm and comfortable and has a rather nice restaurant on site.SkyeAustralia
