The best hotels Whakapapa Village

New Zealand's highest hotel! Nestled in the heart of Tongariro, it offers an infinite view of the entire park. With its natural wood decor, it resembles a large alpine chalet where you can relax by the fireplace after a busy day of skiing or hiking. The owner is very Francophile and will be delighted to help you plan your activities. There's a bar and restaurant on site, as well as a spa, sauna, gym and ski and snowboard rental store.

An icon of the region, many New Zealanders have fond memories of this hotel. An address so emblematic that the cast of The Lord of the Rings stayed here during the filming of the Mordor scenes nearby!
Unfortunately, the hotel closed its doors in 2023, as it no longer met seismic standards. Its future is uncertain, but the news has aroused so much sadness and calls to save the building that it would seem surprising if it were not one day reinvested in one way or another. To be continued!
