3 Star Hotels in National Park Village, Manawatū-Whanganui

"Lovely warm cosy home-away-from-home"

"The River Lodge is a beautiful property set in lovely grounds. We had a large beautiful room, very comfortable bed, lovely bathroom and a balcony with a wonderful view of the mountain. We had fabulous breakfasts and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only downside is that it is quite remote - about a 10 minute drive into Ohakune."

"When you pull up it doesn’t look very inviting and a bit dated BUT when you enter the apartment you will be blown away! All brand new appliances, beautifully decorated, and spacious!!! Highly recommend."

"Clean and comfortable. Smart TV and modern furnitures. Great place and location. Upstairs is very warm when it’s sunny. The place is well equipped for a family; washing machine, kitchen etc. Love staying there! Wish there is an English Breakfast or Earl Grey option for tea instead of just peppermint or chamomile or green tea. Apart from that, it’s at the end of the cul de sac so it’s quiet."

"Really nice hosts! This is a bit of a hidden gem, the name may suggest more of a summer vibe but this is a great spot for a winter weekend mission to the mountain. They don’t have many rooms which is kinda nice as is keeps things pretty quiet. Heaps of parking space close to the rooms and the spa was great after a day on the mountain. Simple, very clean and well priced with great host! Not much more you could ask for. "

"Incredible stay. Great location, very clean and comfortable, walking distance to town and great staff that make you feel welcome. Highly recommend this place, better than the motels. we stayed in unit 10 down by the stream. Great BBQ setup and quiet and relaxing."

"Owner Gillian was an excellent host. Did our transfers from/to NP Station. Took us up to Whakapapa to Gondola on our day of arrival. Room was lovely. We had a spacious 2 bed apartment and kitchen. Common kitchen and lounge facilities (while we waited for the train) were excellent."
