Property Description
Skotel Alpine Resort is 100% owned and operated and New Zealand’s highest hotel, located in the heart of the North Island within the Tongariro National Park.
The hotel offers guests a variety of room types, from Backpacker rooms to View rooms of the Tongariro National Park and the volcanic mountain peaks of Ngauruhoe, Tongariro and Ruapehu.
It is conveniently located in Whakapapa Village at the foot of Mount Ruapehu, within 500 meters of Tongariro National Park Whakapapa Visitor Centre.
Hiking trails start directly at the hotel and the Ska Waka as well as the Mount Ruapehu ski field (Jun-Oct.) are a 6km drive up the mountain.
The hotel is the ideal base for exploring the UNESCO world heritage park – and the many hiking and biking trails in the area. We also offer lunch packages so you won’t get hungry on your adventures.
From the hotel you can walk to Taranaki Falls, Tama Lakes and Silika Rapids and for those up for a day trail walk, the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. Shuttles for the crossing can be booked upon arrival and leave from our doorstep.
After an exciting day hiking, biking, skiing (Jun-Oct) or sight-seeing guests can enjoy a refreshing sauna, a relaxing spa, or unwind over a drink or a meal at the Skotel Restaurant and Bar.
At the Skotel our friendly, experienced staff have all the information to enable you to design your own adventure.

We really loved the skotel, and wished we had time to stay there longer. It would be a great budget friendly place to wait a few days for hiking weather windows - especially if you want to do the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. There's a tasty restaurant ($$$) and nice par/patio area, a kids play space, and a lounge with a complete kitchen for more cost-effective food preparation. If we were coming back, we'd bring more food for breakfast/lunch, and splurge for dinner somewhere.

It’s terrible they moved me to a different lodge 20 km away from the Tongariro National Park and the lodge they put me in is well below the standard This is not acceptable!
