Excellent Stay
This was such a nice place to stay in National Park! We were a group of 3 and very cozy. The place was clean and in a great location with a comparably cheaper shuttle to and from the Tongariro Crossing! Would definitely recommend staying here :)

Hike then Sleep!
This was a very nice hotel, our room had beds downstairs and a bed upstairs. It was very clean and they supplied extra blankets. The restaurant had very good food. This is a great stay that was close after hiking the Alpine Crossing.

Cozy and convenient
The Park Hotel in National Park was well located, cozy stay for the two of us.
The bathroom was very compact but well appointed.
It was handy to have a small fridge and easy to make hot drinks.
We also had dinner at the restaurant and enjoyed the view across to the mountains.
Service was excellent from check in, dinner service and check out.
Would stay again

The staff were extremely nice and helpful. The restaurant was very pleasant and the food was very good. National Park is very small, but a nice place to walk around and enjoy fresh air. The Whakapapa ski resort is about 25 minutes away, quite expensive to get to in a shuttle.
