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!

Great room. Restaurant seems a bit pricy. Cooler broken meant only one beer on tap. It was good but pricy for the season.

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.
