We had three nights here, and although the weather was not kind to us, the hotel more than made up for it. It is in a wonderful spot with walks radiating in all directions. We had one of the chalets up at the back (recommended) with a view of Mt Taranaki from the back window (if the weather is good!).... More

Boy we were spoilt here. Your first thought is 'where on earth are we?', the answer being right in the National Park at the foot of Mt Egmont. What a great location. After the great welcome, we went to our room to find a completely refurbished room and bathroom. Certainly everything we needed. After a great walk through some forest,... More

We arrived at this gem and were surprised by the very high quality of the room and bathroom, it included a huge bed, very comfortable with nice linen, and a spa bathroom, with a large jacuzzi and rain shower. Not to mention the obvious: location location location...We had dinner at the hotel and it was excellent. Service was attentive and... More

The mountain house was a very luxurious base for our day hikes on Mount Taranaki. While the the hotel buildings are old, the rooms are recently refurbished and have very comfortable beds with quality linen. Everything is immaculately clean. We particularly enjoyed the spa bath which was big enough for two (a welcome relief after hiking). The meals in the... More

We had heard that the Mountain House had been renovated and it really was beautiful. The bedroom we stayed in had an enormous bed with loads of pillows that you sunk into and the bathroom had a fantastic spa bath. Our room overlooked the small car park rather than the mountain but there was a side window as well overlooking... More

We have been staying at the Mountain House occasionally since about 1996. It used to be a distinctly cold and somewhat tired old establishment, made worthwhile mostly by the superb mountain location and walking tracks, which abound. It's recent refurbishment has very successfully brought new dimensions - high quality dining in a warm and comfortable bar/restaurant, still small but much... More
