Top Piriaka Hotel Reviews

Alexander Motel

8/10 Good

"The Alexander Motel served us pretty well for an overnight stay prior to a forgotten world tour. There wasn't much personality at check-in nor was the room as clean as it could have been but it was adequate. The walk to main street for a meal is easy. Would recommend the Monsoon Indian"

Parkview Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the apartment and felt it was a great deal for the price. The view was lovely. The laundry appliances were much appreciated. The location was great- within walking distance of a restaurant, convenience store and gas station. The driving distance to the National Park visitor center was only about 15 minutes. We loved it here and would gladly stay again if we are ever back in the area."

Traverse Cabin. Cosy three bedroom holiday home

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here in 3 nights in spring in order to attend a show. It has fairly easy access to Taumarunui, Ohakune, Turangi and the ski fields of course. Pub food was okay and 4 Square had most things you'd need.Everything was fine for us .. beds comfy, kitchen and shower good. Internet was via a 5G mobile router (fairly common in baches) and we had no issues with streaming tv.There's a school with a large field and playground a block away if you've got kids or want somewhere to walk the dog. The property has a fenced grass area at the back if you want a break from your dog."

Turquoise Lodge, National Park 36 Carroll Street National Park

8/10 Good

"This property had everything you need when on the mountain all day. Bathrooms had been recently renovated which was great. Nice big towel rail for the 6 of us. Would have been handy to have some hooks in the bathroom. Just a pity there wasn't a hand basin in the laundry toilet because that defeated the purpose of having a second toilet with full occupancy. Beds were very comfortable and house was well laid out with a noce cosy fire.Had to wash some crockery, cutlery, glasses and bread boards when we arrived as not clean.Playground at the school was a good size with lots of activities. Overall it was a good stay."
