Family Hotels & Resorts in Taumarunui from NZ$179

"I honestly really liked this place! It’s older, and you can tell it has a little wear and tear, but you can tell they do a good job keeping everything clean. There were plenty of blankets and pillows in the room if you wanted to add more to the bed, and the rooms were very spacious. I slept really well here and the water pressure was great in the shower. The staff was also super helpful when we brought up what hikes we had planned. They gave us lots of good tips!"

"Lots of highway noise"

"Chef, reception staff and owner went out of their way to make our stay exceptional. Generous size ensuite room with fabulous outlook and balcony. Warm and cosy and totally appropriate to prepare for and then recover from the Tongariro crossing (hot tub) and to explore Ruapehu. We'll be back for a week next time. "

"Alexander Motel is not a 5* hotel but everything works as advertised. Room, kitchen and bathroom are all clean. Bed is comfortable. For a small kitchen it is well equipped including an air fryer! It is easy to find and situated <100 yards away from the main road. There is an rsa restaurant beside the hotel for good value straightforward food. On the Main Street there are many cafes for breakfast options"

"All the staff we met were friendly and helpful - quickly resolving a booking confusion caused by the booking site …. Next time we would book direct as they were so helpful. The food in the restaurant was excellent both nights. The location and setting are superb … great views, “middle of nowhere” but still access to all mod-cons. Brilliant stay!"

"Great location to visit the park and do the Tongariro Alpine hike."
