Lisa FJanuary 7, 2016High tea or rather afternoon tea is pleasant but could be improved with some less 'rich' or cream based fare. All cakes and desserts were similar in base. Dorchester tea fantastic
StéphanieSeptember 6, 2017I stayed here early spring, hotel is fine, fit for purpose, high tea in the afternoon is good after a long hike and the view is great. Pricey place though.- Cusp25December 1, 2014An old fashioned hotel- quaint with high tea and a fire in the lounge to warm you up after tramping in the park
Poli TJanuary 4, 2017Well, the location is wonderful of course, so is the actual building, but it's very dated inside. It's my honeymoon. I'm upset :-(
Brent O'MeagherDecember 27, 2012The rooms in the Tongariro wing are newer and nicer. Dinner in the Ruapehu Room is fantastic
Ken MFebruary 25, 2014Be aware they add 1.5% if you use a credit card. They will also offer you to pay in your currency, as though it was a favour to you, but they then take a transaction percentage.
Ilona VandersmissenFebruary 9, 2014The hotel looks fancy on the outside, but the rooms are old and run down. Not what you would expect in a castle. Dinner at the Pihanga restaurant was also disappointing.
Candy JSeptember 7, 2015Ever seen the movie The Grand Hotel Budapest? It could've been shot here. Spent two nights here. Loved it. Staff wonderful, rooms gorgeous. Region around is other worldly.
- Ken MFebruary 25, 2014A little bit of the grandeur of the good old days. I just wish they would air the rooms better. And, for goodness sake, at this price the wi-fi should be complimentary!
