Story

Das Chateau Tongariro ist ein als Baudenkmal registriertes neuseeländisches Hotel. Es liegt im Ruapehu District der Region Manawatu-Wanganui im Tongariro National Park im Vorland des Mount Ruapehu und in Sichtweite der beiden anderen Vulkangipfel Mount Tongariro und Mount Ngauruhoe. In der Nähe befindet sich das Skigebiet Whakapapa skifield.GeschichteSeit 1923 suchte die Verwaltung des Tongariro National Park einen Standort für ein 100-Betten-Gästehaus, um den Tourismus im neu gegründeten Nationalpark zu fördern. 1925 bot die neuseeländische Regierung an, an jedes Privatunternehmen Land zu verpachten und bis zu £ 40.000 Kredit zu vergeben, das ein Hotel an der Stelle errichten und betreiben würde.Rodolph Lysaght Wigley (1881–1946) nahm als geschäftsführender Direktor der Mount Cook Tourist Company die Herausforderung an. Er gründete die Tongariro Park Tourist Company mit der Absicht, ein Hotel und umliegende Skihütten zu bauen. Er brachte die Gesellschaft an die Börse, erzielte aber nur Zeichnungen in Höhe von £ 30.000. Die Gesellschaft schloss am 9. November 1928 einen Pachtvertrag mit der Regierung ab. Danach musste das Gebäude bis zum 31. März 1930 (nur 17 Monate später) errichtet werden und es durfte nicht weniger als £ 40.000 und nicht mehr als £60.000 kosten. Da bislang nur £ 30.000 an Anteilen verkauft werden konnten, schloss Wigley Ende 1928 einen Vertrag mit der Baufirma Fletcher Construction ab. Dieser beinhaltete, dass das Unternehmen Anteile in Höhe von £ 15.000 der Tongariro Park Tourist Company erwirbt.

Reviews
Some may say that the hotel is dated, but so are we. Nostalgia is not what it used to be, we welcomed the opportunity to glory in the days when hotel guests were special and not an inconvenience. All the staff were without exception, professional, courteous and friendly. We will return on any occasion of visiting the North Island
Our stay was very nice. All staff were helpful and friendly. The food was excellent. Rooms although old were very clean and well presented. We both really enjoyed our stay.
Very welcoming & friendly front desk staff. Would prefer a walk up style bar in the Lounge rather than waiting for table service. Dinner at the Restaurant was fantastic & the staff were excellent & very attentive.
A lovely place to stay, all of the staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is a grand building although starting to show her age a bit, particularly in the bathroom, but the room was very clean and comfortable. The biggest disappointment was the plunge pool wasn't working during our stay.
Our days spend at Chateau Tongariro Hotel were very relaxed. The friendly staff from reception, bar, restaurant and cleaners were amazing. The food was so delicious!
