Riads in Ruapehu District

The front desk manager was professional and very helpful. He made my stay very pleasant and enjoyable.

Beautiful modern lodge with gracious hosts. The property has a lot of indoor and outdoor public areas to relax with a glass of wine and book in hand. Rebecca and Jason are attentive, anticipating their clients needs, and are at the ready to make great dining and sightseeing recommendations. The private cedar hot tubs room side are to die for. Highly recommended.

Smooth check in/ check out, property just as listed on the website, wonderful view, 10/10.

Our hosts were very welcoming and they tended to our every need. My wife even got to play with their kittens! Very nice place and great conversations and breakfast!

You wouldn’t guess it when you pull up, but the place is new and spotless. Great and super friendly service. Walking distance to restaurants. Would stay there again.

Great setting, wonderful owners, lovely property. Think it may have been our favorite stay on the North Island.

The property and rooms are beautiful. The location is amazing as well. Breakfast in the morning is great and feeding the Alpacas is a great experience. The hot tub was so nice after a day of hiking! I highly recommend staying here. You won’t be disappointed!

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.

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

stayed for a night and was great!

The staff was so friendly and the room was so cozy and smelled amazing! I will definitely be planning a longer stay in the future to enjoy more of the lodge and river!

Friendly helpful staff, nice room, good value for the $.

Such a nice place! Much nicer than what I was expecting based on the price.

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...

Comfortable stay. Visited with family and was not disappointed with the accomodations.

Being in a dome was unique. It was clean and the bed was quite comfortable. Nice to be right on the lake. Bathroom and shower facilities were clean.

Good clean accommodations. Friendly staff.

Very comfortable and clean hotel with a very nice back deck patio. Convenient location about 45 minutes from Tongariro National Park. Close to town with restaurants. Quiet location. The room was large with two bedrooms making it very comfortable for our family of 4. Thanks for a great stay!
