We were just passing through but wished we stayed longer. Rooms were fantastic, had a Queen suite with an en-suite and it was stunning - cannot recommend a stay here enough. I can imagine in ski season this is the perfect spot to begin and end your day, especially with a lovely pub, restaurant and warmed pool!

One of the my favorite hotels on month-long trip to New Zealand. After hiking 6-hour Tongariro, the expansive hot tub-pool at Powderhorn was just what the doc ordered. Laundry room on the floor a plus -- and hotel dining facilities (for dinner and breakfast) were very good.

Amazing hotel.

Amazing hotel. Very close to ski hills and volcano. Food and beer were great. Very comfy rooms. easy parking. The only thing is ask for a room far from the automatic door as the knock on the wall when they open and it might disturb you at night.
