3-Star Hotels in Manawatu-Wanganui, New Zealand

This is probably the hotel accommodation closest to the top of the mountain. From the hotel, you can see two volcanic cones and the surrounding wilderness (not every room can see it). The hotel is at the starting and end of the Taranaki Falls Trail. The weather was clear that night, and I took photos of the stars with my phone. I booked the Ruapehu room this time. The room is relatively small. The Ctrip picture shows that there is a large bed and a bunk bed, but the upper bunk is a storage type. It is usually folded against the wall. If you want to use it, you can unfold it and it feels unreliable. There is thick dust, no mattress, and poor usability. In fact, it is a large bed and a small bed. The hotel ”mainly focuses on environmental protection concept” and does not provide shampoo and shower gel (there is a soap labelled shampoo, but I used it and it is far from real shampoo, it has no conditioning effect at all, and it is eye-irritating), does not provide plastic bottled water, and the room lighting is dim. There is a public laundry room, but the opening hours are limited, it seems to be 7:00-20:00. I checked in late and didn't use it. There is no one at the front desk at night. If you go late, you can open the door by yourself to collect mail. There is no food at night, you need to prepare your own. There is a kettle in the room, but no kitchen. There is a small settlement at the foot of the mountain 20 minutes drive from the hotel. There are some restaurants, but it is not clear whether they are open at night. Check-out time is 10 o'clock, very serious, housekeeping will knock on the door on time, late is not allowed, unless you pay extra $25/hour, I paid extra. This hotel is suitable for mountaineering and hiking outdoor enthusiasts who get up early and go to bed early. The main focus is on experience and naturally does not care about comfort.

Suitable for those who look for serenity, strategic location with scenic view of Mount Ngaruhoe right at the entrance if the weather is good. Clean and tidy kitchen area with plenty of kitchen equipment and utensils for cooking. The only downside I would nitpick is that the hot tub is located by the roadside so there’s not much privacy around.

The location is excellent, you can see the Tongari Lilu Snow Mountain, the surrounding environment is good, there are trails at the entrance, not far from the town center supermarket, driving is very convenient. The room is clean and has a kitchen and a spa.

The current rating of this hotel is too low, and it seems that the data has not been refreshed. In fact, the hotel is very good. If you stay for two nights, the cleanliness is the best among all the hotels I have stayed in. The food in the restaurant is very, very delicious. I highly recommend it if you go to Tongariro. You don’t have to worry about running out of food! Moreover, this hotel can pick up and drop off the mountain climbing shuttle bus, and the facilities are also very complete! The only drawback may be that the room is a bit small, but the service, facilities and restaurant are enough to give it full marks! ! ! Highly recommended~~

Bit of a mixup with checking in but we managed to sort that. Otherwise everything was adequate for our needs.

The boss and his wife are very responsible. We went to the back and rode a mountain bike. There are surprises and thrills along the way. Special reminder, this place is very suitable for walking to Tongariro, you can reserve a car directly to the hotel entrance to receive delivery. Behind the hotel is a pasture, which is beautiful in the sunset. The landlord is very helpful and caring, thank you very much

We booked the family unit, location is great! restaurant, supermarket and airport are all nearby. Full kitchen amenities, Staffs are very nice!

The accommodation was surprisingly good for the price and location. The receptionist was very accommodating and waited for me until I arrived before she called it a day. I liked the common bathroom outside the main house as it was really warm and spacious.

Love the location. Close to park nearby.

The TV in the room was bad. I asked the boss to repair it. I didn’t fix it, I didn’t change it, and I didn’t give it a discount. The room is in a good environment.

Hotel in a tourist town, good environment and facilities

Nice place and easy to find, will come again, the stuff was good even we arrived late. The pressure of hot water was a little bit low.

I think the price is low and the cost performance is excellent. The hotel was all kind and polite. The room is larger than I expected. The location is convenient.
