Top Whakapapa Ski Area Hotel Reviews
Powderhorn Chateau
10/10 Excellent
"Iconic property, beautiful location"
Traverse Cabin. Cosy three bedroom holiday home
8/10 Good
"Nice tidy compact cabin, great for our short stay. Comfortable beds, drying room for wet ski gear."
Mountain Heights Lodge
8/10 Good
"Comfy and clean facilities near National Park"
Skotel Alpine Resort
10/10 Excellent
"Warm & Welcoming We had a wonderful stay here! The hotel was warm, cosy and very comfortable, with beautiful mountain views. The breakfast was delicious and had a great selection. We especially loved having our own private hot bath — it was the perfect way to relax after a day exploring the mountains. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing mountain getaway!"
Tongariro Crossing Lodge
8/10 Good
"Everything you need, and nothing you don't. The rooms were very cosy even though it was freezing outside. This was a great little stay for our family of four. Only gripes would be the mattresses were old and tired so you could feel the springs and they bounced around a lot, and the wardrobe in the bedroom would be a lot more useful if it was replaced with shelves or a chest of drawers. Would recommend this place again though despite these things."
Adventure Lodge & Motel
10/10 Excellent
"The owner was super nice and very helpful, we were looked after well by her."
The Crossing Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"Was pleasantly surprised with the room and facilities - a much higher standard than I expected. Spacious room, excellent kitchen and dining room. Would happily stay again"
Pipers Lodge
8/10 Good
"The place was busy due to the ski season and many seasonal workers stayed there, so night time could be quite noisy. There is also a kitchen on site offering simple buffet breakfast at a cheap price and other dining options for lunch/dinner. The staff members were very friendly and helpful; there were complimentary coffee and tea at the common area 24/7, a TV and a large lounge to chill at. The kitchen was quite packed but they have air fryers which could be very useful. The room we stayed in is central-heated. Close to National Park and Whakapapa, this place is good for a short stay."
Great value Cottage - 20 mins to Whakapapa
10/10 Excellent
"Lovely little place! Felt nice and homely, enough space for a family of four and had everything we needed in the kitchen. We were warm and comfortable, already booked our next stay!"
