The Old Post Office Lodge is a century-old iconic building, with a location best described as being "basecamp for the Ruapehu District" including the stunning Tongariro National Park, with UNTOLD outdoor activities in every direction! From multiple famous hiking treks, to multiple infamous mountain biking trails, plus incredible kayaking journeys along the phenomenal Whanganui River, to many popular deer & pig hunting spots, and of course NZ's largest ski-field Whakapapa less than half an hour away on Mt Ruapehu.
The accommodation is stunning with its focus on Gatsby-style art-deco opulence - and incredible Post Office memorabilia. When its extensive 8-month renovation was completed in July 2021, the local Visit Ruapehu Tourism staff's reaction was "An amazing place ... it really lifts the bar on our accommodation!"

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD:
Depending on how long you will be staying, your interests, and preferences, we can make loads of recommendations of local attractions in and around this part of the King Country that's within the National Park ward as part of the Ruapehu district.
In fact, there is so much we have created a What To Do guide we can send you in advance of your stay ... whether you want High Tea at the auspicious Chateau Tongariro Hotel, or snowboarding NZ's largest ski-field, or experiencing world-class Trout Fishing, or hard-coring it on the "42 Traverse" multi-track that ends practically at our doorstep of 42 Owhango Rd.
Then afterwards chillaxing in our traditional Finnish-style Sauna cabin and gorgeous Hot-Tub style spa-pool.
The Old Post Office Lodge is also a superb location to have your own Great Gatsby themed night with friends ... and its a brilliant location for an Agatha Christie style Murder Mystery evening!!
