Very Good

This is a gem of a hotel in the National Park Village. We loved the location, Spiral Restaurant and the communal gathering areas in the restaurant and bar. Everything was super clean, staff were capable and friendly. The views of the mountains at sunset in front of the hotel are special.
It’s a ski hotel. Convenient for the Whakapapa ski field. Each room has one oil heater.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Disliked: Cleanliness
Overall nice stay, and would stay again. The staff and the restaurant were nice. Only one spa was going. The beds were comfortable. The cleaning needs a bit of upkeep perhaps.. there were live larvae and dead larvae shells under our beds. We noticed this as our daughter lost an earring so we had to move the bed to find it… wish we hadn’t of done that.
Otherwise nice place, handy to the mountain and great facilities close by.
Great Hotel Centrally located for National Park. Perfect for a short stay or longer. Access to Tongariro National Park
skiing, or local walks.
Staff were exceptionally friendly good service.
I'll certainly stay again when visiting the area

Nice staff. Ok location. The room has zero noise proof. We can hear neighbours conversation.
We had a wonderful 3 night stay in a king room on the ground floor. Very convenient for driving to Whakapapa ski field. Cosy bar and dining room for the evenings, and pleasant staff. Note for future guests, the bathroom is very small. Daily room service available if desired. We will stay again.
