Manowhenua Lodge

Fantastic place to spend the night before a hike in the National Park. Welcoming, clean, tidy, everything we needed was available. A quiet, comfortable sleep. Kitchen well set up for cooking and storing food in the large fridge/freezers.

A lovely, albeit very brief stay at Manowhenua lodge. Host Tracey is warm and friendly, and helped us feel right at home. Our room was warm and cozy, with high quality bedding on comfy beds and what looked like new carpets. Thank you so much!

Such a fantastic weekend, thank you for welcoming us and making us feel at home we will be telling everyone! Thanks so much for having us Tracey & Thomas 🥰🥰 

✅ Warm cosy rooms, clean and tidy facilities and fantastic hospitality

Wow - what an amazing place - newly renovated, clean, bright and airy. Great kitchen and lovely lounge space.
Bedroom was nicely furbished with lots of space and CLEAN.
Hot showers, warm building.
Tracey and Thomas were AMAZING hosts - there to help in every aspect of our stay.
We used them for our Tongariro shuttle service too - very organized and professional.
I cant speak highly enough of this place and the owners.

What a fantastic place to stay. Right from the start we were made to feel very welcome. Excellent service, very comfortable beds, clean rooms and well equipped kitchen.
The shuttle service to and from walking the tongario alpine crossing was made easy and affordable. 
This is our favourite place to stay near the mountain.   We will be back.

Very welcoming hosts and owners (Tracey and Thomas) who want you to feel at home. Clean and comfortable, with well equiped shared kitchen (even has a deep freezer) and very large rec room with lazy boys, couches, pool table, ping pong table, board games, and fireplace in the winter. 

We stayed in room 12, queen bed, close to the kitchen. Bed and linens comfortable. 

Extremely generous allotment for free wifi - you’re given a code and get 5 Mb each which is good for 48 hrs from first log in. 

Great value, lots of parking space, and handy that they also operate National Park shuttles. We took the 7 am shuttle.

Highly recommend!

Very nice hosts. They make you feel you're part of their family! Tracey is an experienced hiker herself, and will give you good advice about alpine crossing and other walks.

Very clean and tidy accommodation. We stayed two nights, and enjoyed it a lot! 

The next time we come to this area, we will definitely stay with them again.

Thank you so much for a lovely stay - super friendly as soon as I arrived. A cosy and warm living room and comfy beds made this a great stay. All very clean and tidy too! Two friends were stuck at a bad accomodation close by and the guys here were so kind to let them enjoy the kitchen/living room with me! 

Saw a couple of other comments below and just wanted to share my experience: Internet - 15gb/wk and the oven works fine :)

Have a visit Mt Ruapehu Area, we spent one night at this lodge. My room was very good, with double and single bed, clean and comfy. The shared showers and toilets were clean and tidy. The best was the shared kitchen, spacious with plenty of kitchen tools and you can prepare and literally cook your meals here, great. The shared dining and ammenities was nice with large TV, books and table tennis. This lodge is one of the pick up and drop off points for shuttle buses to Mt Ruapehu if you do not want driving your car to the mountain, which could by busy and hard to find parking spaces in the peak holiday times.And the last and good was cheerfull and helpful staffs.

Facilities are ok, but there is no oven. the highlight is having a spa to soak your muscles after a long session of skiing/boarding up at Whakapapa.
The location is excellent. Just a short walk to any bars/shops. I highly recommend the Horopito lamb shanks at Schnapps bar

An amazing place to stay

Best price, best service, best beds, best shuttle

Stay here before hiking the Tongariro Alpine Crossing!

Best shuttle & excellent accommodation

Great for overnight stay

Fantastic stay,home away from home

Only had one night here but had no problems - booking, payment and check in was all easy! The village is small so the location of all the hostels and lodges here are convenient in reality; Ski Haus is about 800m-1km from all the important parts (supermarket) which is all flat and easy to walk! 
Our room was a double which also had a bunk bed so would be ideal for groups too! The bed was comfy and layout of the rooms regarding the kitchen and bathrooms was also good!
We checked out really early due to doing the crossing so needed an early night! Unfortunately a bunch of people in the corridor were unaware of their noise levels at 11.30pm which highlighted how thin the walls were. 
The kitchen was very clean with plenty of fridge space and all the necessary cooking amenities were there!
