The Pihanga Cafe, also within the hotel provides casual dining whilst 'Tussock' is located a short walk down from the hotel & provides a typical kiwi pub atmosphere with great pizzas & pub grub.
The Chateau Tongariro Hotel contains a house bar where you will be served at your table whilst listening to the hotel's fabulous nightly pianist. Sit under the chandeliers and absorb the ambiance that radiates from the 1929 constructed hotel.
You can also visit 'Tussock' bar for that unique Kiwi pub atmosphere. Mix with the locals who will share their unique stories & watch sport on the mega screen. 'Tussock' really is the winter party venue.
