Located in Ruahine, Mairenui Rural Retreat provides free WiFi, and guests can enjoy a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace.

There is a private bathroom with bath in some units, along with free toiletries, a hairdryer and slippers.

The lodge offers a barbecue. I wished, we could have stayed longer for relaxing and exploring this rural area. Sue and David are wonderful attentive and communicative hosts speaking reliable German and French. They made their house our home for 1 night. An amazing breakfast was served in the morning. Should we ever be crazy enough to fly more than 20.000 km to get here we definetely will check in again at the Mairenui Rural Retreat. Thanks you very much. Gregor and Johanna

Situated in Ohakune, Ruapehu Country Lodge features accommodation with free WiFi, garden views, a garden with a terrace, and access to a sauna and a hot tub.

The lodge offers a seating area with a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with free toiletries, a hairdryer and shower. Bernie and Marie were absolutely delightful hosts and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. The property is conveniently located near to the various activities in the area, which made travelling to and from a breeze! Breakfast was also amazing, and with sheep and alpaca at the property as well, I can’t recommend this stay more!

Located in Raetihi in the Manawatu region and Turoa reachable within 31 km, Snowy Waters - The Old Nurses Home provides accommodation with free WiFi, a children's playground, a terrace and free private parking.

At the lodge guests are welcome to take advantage of a hot tub. We were there for ski trip. I loved Sandy's service by giving us all the info about the mountain and how to be prepared with passes and mapping it out for us to make sure we get the best experience which I appreciated soo much! The place itself was soo clean and felt like home. Beautiful lounge area and clean kitchen and nice open outdoor area to enjoy food with the best view in the area! Highly recommend and I'll definitely be staying here on my next trip :)

Set in National Park, 15 km from Mount Ruapehu and 16 km from Taranaki Falls, Alpine Chalets offers accommodation with free WiFi and a garden with a terrace and mountain views.

Ski storage space is available on site and skiing can be enjoyed within close proximity of the lodge. Great location. A good restaurant bar is just across the property and a convenient store is about 100m away. The location is also near trekking sites. Guest services are great! I highly recommend this motel.
