Ohakune Hotels

Tongariro National Park is the home of Mount Ruapehu and spans 796 km² of the North Island on the doorstep of Ohakune. The first national park in New Zealand in 1887 and incredibly, only the fourth in the entire world, Tongariro is part of the formidable Taupo Volcanic Zone. While Ohakune is eminently popular for winters sports, Mount Ruapehu offers four seasons of first-class scenery and recreation for intrepid visitors. From golf to a wide variety of adrenaline sports, the region is incomparable. Above all else however, Tongariro National Park is one of New Zealand’s most spectacular UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Both a cultural and natural heritage site, the park is a venerable sanctuary for the Maori people and rolls out a fantastic volcanic wilderness chock-full of rare fauna and flora.
