Adventure Lodge & Motel

Taupo & the Ruapehu Region


This place caters particularly to Tongariro Alpine Crossing trampers, offering accommodation and transfers, with all-inclusive packages available (two nights' accommodation, breakfasts, lunch, dinner, T-shirt and transport for $185 to $255). Chill out post-walk in the relaxing lounge, spa pool or barbecue area, or make the most of the small bar.

The motel units are clean but unspectacular, and cheaper rooms have shared bathroom facilities.
