Manowhenua Lodge - Hostel
- Location: National Park Village
- Review: I stayed for 3 nights during local trail running race event. The place is really tidy and well maintained. I sensed the owners' passion for this place and Tongariro region. The kitchen is spacious, has large fridges and everything you need. You can bring your own food and cook without any hassles. The lounge is even better with pool table and table tennis table. There are two decent restaurants, a petrol station and 4-square supermarket nearby, so you can find all the essentials., by kunihiro, March 29, 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent

Tongariro Suites at The Rocks
- Location: Horopito
- Review: This is a small (5 rooms?) "green" boutique hotel where they generate their own electricity via solar panels and use captured rainwater and runoff around the compound. The peaceful pond just outside our room added to the serenity of our visit; and across the pond, off in the distance, we enjoyed the most incredible view of the Tongariro National Park. We stayed on December 31, and the owners were extremely friendly, inviting all of their guests to join them for a New Year's Eve celebratory..., by Anonymous traveler, January 26, 2016, rated 10/10 Excellent

- Location: National Park Village
- Review: My lodging was a pop up little cabin that had interesting design features that made for a comfortable and convenient stay. Accessed through a little semi covered atrium or vestible that had a table with chairs, bathtub, sofa what was sealed from rain by the roof and from lateral wind directed rain by an open mesh awning that could be shut but not locked leading to the cabin itself which had a larger than expected room with heater, air on, mini fridge, bathroom with shower, and fully blacked out..., by Alan, June 15, 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent
Powderhorn Chateau
- Location: Ohakune
- Review: Very charming hotel! Wish we had more time to stay. The property feels very much like a ski lodge and I'm sure is gorgeous in the winter. Just as nice and more quiet in the summer! We ate at the more casual restaurant - great food and enjoyed having drinks on the rooftop patio. We didn't have a chance to swim in the heated pool but it looked lovely. We loved learning that some of the Lord of the Rings cast stayed here when they were filming! 10/10 recommend, by Leandra, January 10, 2024, rated 10/10 Excellent

Tongariro Boutique B&B

- Review: The stay was just like what was described and pictures. Very clean, modern and had a heat pump that was adjusted just right especially during this winter time. The bonus was having a private spa pool and hot pool, it was perfect time to relax after a tiring day doing the Tongariro Crossing. The procedure to this self check-in suite was easy and instructions were clear. One minor down side is the mirror in the bathroom was rather large and protruded too much, which was a little challenging to..., by Anonymous traveler, July 17, 2021, rated 10/10 Excellent
