Independent, Mount Ruapehu Ski Area hotels

"Great room layout, great location off highway. Although we didn’t get a chance to use them (checked in late) it has indoor spa pool and outdoor pool. Spacious and modern room. They had a convenient lock box for after hours check in, and they even text to confirm instructions. Comfortable bed and heat pumps. Our only critique is we booked a room for 4 (double bed and sofa bed) and the sofa bed wasn’t made up ready to use, but bedding was easy to find and it was easy to set up. "

"The Mountain Heights Lodge was lovely. Fabulous hosts, very comfortable and spacious rooms. Convenient for the walking trails. Short drive to cafes (The Station for great coffee and just opened for dinner) and pubs. "

"What a joy it was to arrive at this place and be warmly welcomed by a lovely young French lady Agnes. We were ushered to our upgraded accommodation which was toasty warm! These new chalets are just completed and so everything is brand new! The king sized bed was super comfy with extra blankets provided. The shower is sublime! Plenty of piping hot water to warm you up after a day on the snow fields! We had delicious hot breakfasts served on gorgeous china….coffee served in silver coffee pots! It is such a charming place, complete with a playful cat Lucky! My granddaughter was smitten!! Thoroughly recommend ~ excellent service & value for money! Thank you Louis and staff!"

"Nice place"

"You can get into their warm reception area without a key - no problem - but (as there is no receptionist there) keep their phone number handy in case you have a problem signing in."
