Powderhorn Chateau
Combining all the facilities of an up-market hotel with the ambience of a friendly family run lodge, the Powderhorn Chateau is situated in Ohakune at the doorstep of the spectacular Tongariro National Park. This stunning alpine wonderland is one of only a handful of sites throughout the world to be given dual natural and cultural World Heritage status by UNESCO.
Tongariro National Park boasts diverse landscapes consisting of volcanic peaks, dense beech forests and thermal hot springs and numerous walking tracks, including the stunning Tongariro Crossing, which many consider the finest one-day walk in New Zealand. The beautiful Whanganui National Park is also close at hand, a diverse landscape of rivers, waterfalls, gorges abundant in native flora and fauna.
Ohakune is a year-round destination located in the central North Island, and in addition to winter skiing offers a multitude of outdoor activities such as hiking, canoeing, fishing golf, mountain biking, scenic flights and jet-boating. Within a few minutes walk of the hotel, guests can explore some of New Zealand's oldest native bush.
The Powderhorn offers the closest available accommodation to Turoa Skifield, which together with Whakapapa Ski field just 30 minutes away, puts New Zealand's two largest commercial ski fields at your disposal.

Meals: During the winter months of June through to October, the Powderhorn Chateau offers a choice of two restaurants and bars. Both restaurants have large, open fireplaces which contribute to the warm, friendly atmosphere of the hotel. Those dining with us can expect excellent food and service. The Powderkeg Restaurant and Bar The Powderkeg is the heart of the Powderhorn Chateau and is where the most of the fun tends to begin! A favourite après ski haunt right at the bottom of the mountain road, the Powderkeg guarantees a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Many a tall story is told over a cold beer around the glowing open fire. The Powderkeg, open from 7am until late, is famous for its generous portions of fresh, hearty cuisine. The Matterhorn Restaurant and Bar The Matterhorn is open seasonally and for special functions - a reservation is a must-do with any stay at the Powderhorn Chateau. Located upstairs, the restaurant boasts a full a la carte menu, and its high open-beamed ceiling and beautiful native wood interiors give it with a warm ambience. Start your dining experience with a selection of small plates in the lounge or a cocktail around the hand-crafted bar. The Matterhorn is the ideal venue for special occasions, offering large tables and private dining areas if required. French doors from the restaurant open out onto a balcony, where diners can enjoy al fresco dining in the afternoon sun.
