5/5 - Excellent
There are basically three restaurants: The one in The Park Hotel Ruapehu, one pub across the street (great place), and the restaurant inside the train station a 10 minute walk west.






The hotel's service and atmosphere were both good, but it was inevitable that it had aged over time.

The owners were lovely people and very accommodating, nothing was too much trouble- we were drenched after a wet day and they kindly dried our clothes. The hot tub was a lovely bonus on a cold wet day. Our room and all areas were clean and tidy. Would highly recommend

Clean room and bathrooms. Overall great facility!! John drove us to the Alpine crossing and gave us a walkthrough of the history behind the tongariro national park and safety tips for the hike. We had a great experience. Thank you John.

We’ve had the best time at Alpine Chalets. Amazing hospitality from the staff, the rooms are clean, tidy and very modern. The views were spectacular of the mountains! Highly recommend, will definitely be back :)

Excellent location close to ski field. Comfy, warm rooms with all amenities- cooking facilities, dishwasher, laundry etc. Neat and tidy home away from home. Walking distance from a restaurant, four square, gas station. Highly recommended. Timely comms from the hosts.

Explore the great outdoors at Marton Sash and Door Cycling Park, a lovely green space in National Park Village. Discover the area's mountain views and restaurants.

Nice quiet ski village. Easy to drive or walk around. Had some cafes and restaurants open and even a mini-Golf course.
Crossing is why you go...couple of reasonable restaurants etc. but pretty isolated otherwise. No real grocery store.
Nice Cafe but not much going on.
Ski-biz shop/rental excellent service for skiing and walking boots
Quaint place to stay, handy to lots of outdoor things to do. Would highly recommend a visit
