Top Taumarunui Hotel Reviews

Skotel Alpine Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely and homely, staff very friendly."

Plateau Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The lodge was very well maintained and the staff were helpful and kind enough to sort us into a room even though id accidentally booked the wrong nights stay. Our room was clean, warm, and comfortable. The fully equipped kitchen was useful to keep costs down by cooking our own food. There was a large lounge/dining space which was plenty big enough to share with other guests and they kept the fire going for us so everyone was cosy. A good selection of toys/books/games for children/families and our 3 year old loved being able to befriend and play with other children. 10/10 for our first family trip to whakapapa."

Manowhenua Lodge - Hostel

8/10 Good

"Room looked like it had been recently renovated. Everything was clean and tidy and it was very nice having an adjustable wall heater in the room. Person who showed me around was very friendly and helped answer my questions about the snow fields. The room is not very soundproof so could hear people coming and going to kitchen until quite late into the evening. Also the shared toilet ran out of toiletpaper and there was no one to easily ask for replacement. Overall good place to stay for one night to get up to the ski fields."
