Adored he location, perfect still warm weather and the views. Scorching toasty sun on my back from the bacbackers deck. Loved my little room tucked under the eaves and the little Rock retaining wall (am an architect these things affect me). The alpine trail alongside skotel stunning. That day I was up there with the Gods! Liked talking with other guests. In short I absolutely lucked out staying one night there and can t wait to return.

The owners were great, it’s nice to meet and find so lovely people on your journey. The house was super nice and the surrondings looked very good (we had bad weather so we couldnt do the Tongariro). If one day we are back here, we will for sure come back to this accomodation.

Nice and cozy place. The host is absolutely excellent! It is equipped with laundry, which is really convenient. It could arrange a shuttle bus from hotel to Whakapapa ski field. Pretty chill place. Definitely wanna come back next time.

Absouöutely lovely place to stay when you do the Tongariro crossing. The staff is very friendly. In the village you can rent all the equipment you need. Shuttles can pick you up at the lodge.

Honestly, the best hostel I've ever stayed at! The owners were the most welcoming, loving and caring people. They made sure to talk to everyone, they even remembered the names of every single person who stayed there at the moment. The whole place was super clean and well kept. Kitchen had everything you need for cooking. The living room is amazing to hang out, watch tv, play games or get to know the other guests (and make some new friends!). Would highly recommend staying there. You would not be disappointed!

Had a wonderful stay here! The room was very nice, clean, comfortable and warm. The owners were extremely kind and attentive and helped me with the shuttle to get around all over the national park, and had great advice on what to do on different days, taking into account the weather situation.

    The management is chaotic. I lost my ski poles.

    The management is chaotic. I lost my ski poles. It took me an hour to find them among three girls. I found that all their equipment was someone else's. I was shocked. There were too many novices. My friend's child was hit three times in one day. It was really dangerous.

    We loved our visit. Fantastic views and quality time.

    We loved our visit. Fantastic views and quality time. Easy to get around in a standard car. Weather conditions were clear and bright, mild cold temperatures so a very minimal amount of ice on the road. We recommend the sky waka gondola. The skotel alpine resort is a good place to stay.

    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. 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.

    We 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.

    Location up on the mountain was good. Some nice views off deck and walking around area. The convenience of an onsite restaurant for dinner and breakfast was great. (no toasters in rooms anyway)

    The ambience of this great Art Deco hotel. Staff were very helpful too. Room was comfortable, but wish I would have spent more and stayed in a room with a view in the older Heritage wing.

    The location was wonderful, the actual hotel is nice and the lounge is an absolute dream to hang out by the log burner. The bar and food are great but pricey.
