Mountain Heights Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very nice and even gave me a trail recommendation given we could not do the alpine crossing as planned that day! The unit was very clean and cozy and had exactly what was needed for a comfortable stay. The location was great, only 15 minute drive from the national park visitor center. The property is very peaceful and I enjoyed watching the alpacas at night from the back yard. Would highly recommend!"

The Park Hotel Ruapehu

10/10 Excellent
