The location was pretty good -- about 5 or so minutes driving to the nearest gas station, shop and restaurants. The free parking and some shared kitchen amenities were nice to have.

The park was very close to Tongariro National Park, which made things very convenient for our hiking plans. The communal kitchen was clean and had nice equipment, the dishes they provided made cooking meals easy, and they provided the room with a minifridge that helped as well. It was perfect for campers and hikers who are hoping to have a comfy bed after tent camping or hiking a lot!

We loved our stay - The room was spacious and it was great to sit on the deck on an evening. The breakfast options were plentiful and available to take at whatever time suited us on a morning. We especially loved using the hot tub after a long day's hiking.
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.

Dinner and Breakfast Service excellent
Lounge service for drinks very poor-would have died off thirst waiting for service but staff at bar were happy to serve us and they along with dinning room staff were excellent
Reception staff very good indeed
Room OK out shower over bath not what expected in a top Hotel
Menu a little limited but food served was excellent
Excellent location, close to Whakapapa ski field and national park. Small room but was fine to fit 2 adults and 2 little kids for the night. Kids loved the bunk bed. Had own bathroom and small fridge/kettle which was nice. Good to have restaurant onsite, food okay.
excellent breakfast and dinner, we also had high tea, which is the best of the all. The hotel is warm, beautiful views, really enjoy the stay at the hotel, very convenience to all the walking tracks and ski field.
10mins drive to Whakapapa Ski Field. Convenient ski rental located in the hotel, friendly and helpful staff there. Have in house restaurant which provides not fancy but decent food. Staff quite nice.
