Why Summer at Tongariro?
As Iwikau Ski Club members, we’re fortunate to enjoy some of the best facilities on and near the mountain, supporting our passion for winter sports year after year.
For a relatively modest annual subscription, we effectively own two holiday homes—without the hassle of mowing lawns, paying rates, or handling maintenance (apart from those members who help at work parties). It’s a great deal, especially considering our lodges are located in the stunning Tongariro National Park, right in the heart of the North Island’s volcanic plateau.
In winter, our facilities give us access to the best ski mountain in New Zealand. In summer, they open the door to some of the country’s finest bush walks, waterfalls, lakes, bike trails, and outdoor adventures—perfect for family holidays all year round.
To help you get the most from your Club facilities in 2025 and beyond, we’ve added holiday planning information to the website. You can now easily explore all the fantastic activities available during your stay at our Iwikau or Ohakune lodges.
Why not make this the year to explore more of your own country? Your “holiday homes on the hill” are waiting.
​
We’ve also introduced new out-of-season rates and a “Whole of House” booking option at the Ohakune lodge. First in, first served—this option lets you book the entire lodge for your group, whether it’s family, friends, or a work retreat. A perfect setup for your next getaway.
