Taranaki Falls
Looking towards Mt Ngauruhoe from the front of Chateau Tongariro
3km one way for an easy hike to these falls - lots of great spots for photos. If you go on winter you have the added experience of walking with Mounts Ruapehu and Ngauruahoe around you.

8.2/10 Very Good! (1,000 reviews)
The bed was comfy, room was cozy, close to national park and restaurants. Hot tub area needs some attention. Chairs were worn and cushions moldy. No instructions on how to work hot tub. TV only has 13 channels. Otherwise perfect for 1 night.

Very quiet and rooms very clean. ...
