We had two issues with this hotel stay. One is that the Expedia title for the property is ”Stay in National Park Village”. The property is actually 3 km away from National Park Village on a Main road with a lot of traffic. If you rent the top room with the balcony you overlook this busy road. It was not as peaceful as expected. National Park Village is a misnomer also as it is not in the park but at the access point to enter the park. It’s a further 14 minute drive to get to the parks visitor center from “National Park Village” Aside from the misunderstanding about the location the bed we had was so firm as to be uncomfortable, the shower in the room was very small. The continental breakfast was a positive.

While we enjoyed our visit to the National Park, this accommodation was a bit disappointing compared to the many other stays we have had in New Zealand. A few updates would go a long way in improving guest comfort (replace noisy bathroom fan, replace tiny mirror in bathroom, provide wardrobe, shelf, or hangers for guest belongings). Staff were pleasant and access to the communal kitchen was helpful.

What a wonderful charming lodge in Tongariro! Everything seems to have been carefully thought through and executed for guests to have an enjoyable comfortable experience. The rooms feel like home with comfortable and generous bedding, ample seating area and nice tea/coffee selections. The common areas are super functional and comfortable as well—everything is designed to feel like a charming mountain lodge home. Andre also provides excellent tips and information for the surrounding area and activities. Wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommend this place.

The stay was even better than imagined. The owners were so accommodating. They helped us to get better WiFi and provided us snacks as well. The main lodge area was comfortable and quiet to work as well. Such nice people!

We really enjoyed our one night stay at Mountain Heights Lodge. Our room was comfortable and spacious, the continental breakfast was great. Maria and her husband were really great hosts. We wish we could have stayed longer.

I would like to start by saying that the site was nice, and it was easy to find and convenient. When we arrived, I had to wait for a while for the concierge to come to the desk. He showed us to our rooms up a set of stairs that had very narrow doors at the top that were very hard to offload our luggage through. The room was quaint but on the small side. The shower was very different than any other shower I had ever seen and took a while to figure it out. The bed was nice and comfortable byt there very little space to move around the room with all the luggage in it. I would recommend this place if you are traveling light.

Fabulous stay. We had deluxe room in the lodge with balcony. Room was spacious and clean. Bed comfortable. Breakfast provisions provided were very generous. Definitely recommend. A great base to explore national park.

We enjoyed our stay, appreciating the quiet location and pretty view. The self serve breakfast in the breakfast nook hit the spot. Our second floor room was airy and well appointed. Regretfully we only spent a single night. The lodge is conveniently located for visiting the national park.

Convenient for our stay to do the Tongariro Alpine Crossing- Maria was spectacular- friendly and a great host.

The only thing was that the location is directly on the highway and you did hear the passing traffic at night but this is not a fault of the lodge - its a very convenient place with onsite shuttle pickup for the TAC.

Adequate but basic

We thought this lodge was expensive for what we got - not good value for money at all. But that is probably due to its location, close to the National Padk. We stayed in the lodge itself and the room was very small with a really tiny bathroom - nothing like the photos on Hotels.com. It was cold when we arrived and it took the small heater provided a long time to heat the room. The breakfast was very basic - left in fridge for us.
