Traditional family operated ski lodge open year round offering rooms ranging from basic bunk style with share bathrooms to queen beds with en suites, All rooms include sheets and duvets. There's a large communal kitchen, dining area and lounge with a fantastic open log fire, perfect for that relaxing evening after a great day in the outdoors. The views are stunning and hard to beat anywhere in the area. Reception hours are 7.30Am- 8pm and late on Friday nights. If you know your expected arrival time we greatly appreciate it if you can let us know. On the odd occasion we may be away from the office (feeding/settling kids, eating, yeah we eat too or just doing some gardening) we will leave keys out, we're never far away and will be "Back Soon". Thank you for your understanding and we sure hope you enjoy your stay and all the area has to offer.

It’s adequate for a short stay to hike the Tongariro. Definitely a backpackers type of place. Nice that they have a kitchen to use. There are couple of restaurants in walking distance and it’s also in walking distance to the train station. Dated and could be a little cleaner. The person working there (owner?) was very nice. Wish they had a hair dryer in the bathroom.

We stayed in Pukenui Lodge just one night before experiencing Tongariro Alpine Crossing. We had a basic but very warm room. The parking was spacious. The owner is actually a record-holder in speed skiing! Thanks again for a warm welcome, Chris!

A few years back we were booked into a neighbouring motel and left immediately after we'd seen the room. So it was with some reservations that we booked this lodge to be close to our family who were staying at the YHA next door. This was the only place with an ensuite room available which was important given we are 2 oldies. To our surprise, although it was basic as expected, it was perfectly good for a few nights. The room was clean and tidy and warm. The kitchen was clean and tidy and well equipped. The lounge had a lovely log fire, comfortable armchairs and great views. The staff were helpful and all very friendly. Theres a bar right next door that does huge portions of good food and beer at reasonable prices. Would certainly book here again.

For some reason we booked through Booking.com and they totally screwed up the booking. We arrived after they had confirmed all was OK to find that Booking.com had double booked the room. There were in fact no rooms left of the type we booked. Pukenui Lodge staff were wonderful and found us an adequate room and upgraded us for the following night. It is a nice backpacker type place with good facilities and great staff. Nice family atmosphere. Would recommend without hesitation. But - don't use Booking.com!

We stayed here the night before doing the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. Our room was basic but was en suite and clean. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful with tips for the Crossing and where to eat.
