Welcome to Riverstone Lodge
Riverstone Lodge offers a welcoming, comfortable and well-kept base for travellers exploring the beauty of Tongariro National Park and the surrounding area. With a convenient location close to the town centre and within easy reach of local attractions, walking routes, shops and transport connections, the lodge is an ideal choice for both short stays and outdoor adventures.
Guests can choose from a range of private rooms and shared accommodation to suit different travel styles and budgets. Rooms are thoughtfully presented, clean, warm and comfortable, while the shared spaces provide plenty of room to relax, prepare meals and unwind after a day of exploring.
A kitchen made for sharing
The spacious communal kitchen is well equipped for self-catering, with ample storage and preparation space, making it easy for guests to cook and enjoy a meal together. A comfortable living area creates a relaxed, homely atmosphere, complemented by outdoor seating and a BBQ area for enjoying time outside.
Your stay
Cleanliness and comfort are central to the Riverstone Lodge experience. Guests consistently appreciate the immaculate presentation of the property, comfortable beds, tidy facilities, hot showers and the practical touches that make a stay easy and convenient. Facilities for outdoor travellers, including space for drying equipment, are particularly useful for those returning from hikes and adventures in the surrounding mountains. Free WiFi, free private parking on site, heating and non-smoking rooms are included throughout.
Terrace, garden and quiet evenings
The sunny deck and garden are a favourite place to slow down after a long day on the trails. Outdoor furniture, a BBQ and a sheltered terrace look out over the greenery, and the shared lounge is a natural gathering point for travellers swapping stories about the crossing, the rivers and the mountains.
