You can book directly with Te Horonuku through our booking form or by contacting us via email. Members receive priority access, but guest bookings are welcome when space is available — especially outside peak weekends and school holidays.
At Te Horonuku, you’ll find heated bunk rooms, a shared kitchen and dining area, a drying room for gear, ski tuning bench, gear lockers, free Wi-Fi, and a games room. Most lodges on Whakapapa are club-based, so facilities are communal and often run on a shared duties system.
Yes — several ski clubs, including Te Horonuku, offer on-mountain accommodation on the Whakapapa skifield. These are true ski-in, ski-out lodges and provide a unique opportunity to stay directly on Mt Ruapehu, within Tongariro National Park.
As a member-run club, Te Horonuku operates with shared responsibilities — guests and members take part in light duties like cooking and cleaning. Quiet hours are observed, gear should be stored in designated areas, and respectful conduct is expected in all shared spaces.
