Tongariro Estate has mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking, situated in National Park, 16 km from Mount Ruapehu. There is a private entrance at the apartment for the convenience of those who stay. The apartment features family rooms.

The apartment we stayed in was toasty warm, with beautifully clean beds, bathrooms and kitchen. Parking was right outside and finding the place is a breeze. It also had all the little touches that make things easier, for example the kitchen had not just ample cooking equipment, but also basic condiments, sugar, salt oil...etc). Great hosts, they were super responsive, helpful and kind when contacted. We will definitely stay here again.

It is located in National Park Village, 25 km from Mount Ruapehu. Free private parking is available on site.

The hostel is good for its price and I especially recommend the pub which is in the same house and runned by the same owner. You will find good drinks and music and great people!

    We’d give this property a 10/10 as it had everything that was described - it offered a clean kitchen, clean shared bathroom (always very clean), good WiFi, nice warm room, friendly staff and quiet location. The property is also located not too far from the shuttles, bar, shop and restaurants. We’d definitely come back here again.

    Amazing location (next to the Schnapps Bar). Room, kitchen and bathrooms very clean and tidy. Nice and warm (almost too warm!). Bathrooms slightly dated but spotlessly clean. Dry room for ski gear is very useful. The climbing wall is great fun is the weather turns bad.
