3 Star Hotels in National Park Village, Manawatū-Whanganui

"The staff were friendly and nice - and we greatly appreciated the dry room that was available for use in October (we were also the only ones using it and there was sufficient room for my group of 6). There was also a common kitchen and dinning area, that had a kids area with toys for children to play.

"Good location and lots of space. Had really nice communal areas. Nice and clean and tidy."

"Best meal I've had in a long time!"

"Would be nice to have microwave Otherwise solid property for the budget "

"very nice and approachable staff, overall it's an excellent place. will surely recommend this!!"

"Great accommodations. Near good restaurants, within driving distance from Tongariro (our reason for visiting this area), clean, comfortable beds. Only drawback is that there's only one bathroom for two couples. However, the toilet is in its own room - separate from the shower, but with a sink for hand-washing in each room. That made this facility workable for us. Highly recommend."

"Comfortable stopover"

"We were upgraded from a 2 bedroom to a 5 bedroom (we still only used 2 bedrooms) but had a nice large house with a fireplace. Loved coming in from the snow to a cosy house. "

"Friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable room with king size bed. Spa bath in room but water didn’t get very hot. Restaurant meals were good. "

"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."

"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."
