We stayed in a basic cabin (i.e., beds, no bathroom or kitchen). The cabin was smaller than we've had at other holiday parks but MUCH cleaner. The communal kitchen, bathroom, and shower facilities were recently renovated - everything was in great repair, clean, and working well. I really liked the lay-out of the kitchen facilities, with the huge centre island... More

This holiday park was pretty close to the crossing entrance, but there wasn't anything within (approx) a 15-minute drive. Because weather can be finicky and can delay your hike, you might want to pick a location closer to other things to do/see. There wasn't any cell reception, but there was a payphone. The bathrooms were new; however, men and women... More

Super close to Mount Tongariro and all the sweetness that comes with that experience. The place is a giant cabin and tent campground with lots and lots of room. Fortunately for us there weren't that many people there. All the facilities are fairly good - lounge room, the kitchen, the playground. The staff was very helpful. My only criticism was... More

Close to a lot of outdoor activities to do like, walking, skiing, biking and far enough from the noise and relax after doing them. The owners are very kind and helpful at every moment. The cabin was warm enough to have a good sleep. The showers are great and u can watch some rugby at the tv room. The prices... More

We had a great experience that the Tongariro Holiday Park. It is the closest to the crossing...not near any other shops, so once you get there, you're pretty much there. The park was clean. They're building new bathrooms that are a bit more private and closed off, so that was nice. The owner was very friendly and a helpful guide.... More

We are keen skiers and every year we park our caravan down at the Tongariro Holiday Park, we have always found the owners Greg and Donna very nice and helpful, the facilities are always clean and the new showers are fantastic. The location is amazing for skiing, 20 minutes to the top of the Bruce, and the local knowledge that... More

The room was so warm and was equipped with heater made me had a good sleep during the cold night. The bathroom and shower was very clean. Besides can go for a relax spa after a tiring skiing or tracking. The owners are... More

I was disappointed in this park. Given the poor facilities, it was overpriced and the staff were not friendly at all. We booked a campervan site and asked whether we could have a late checkout the next day. We were told we could but only if we paid another full night's site fees. The showers were archaic. Both showers and... More
