We spent 2 nights at the Mountain House during our 2 week driving tour of the North Island of NZ. We stayed at half a dozen high end B&Bs during our trip. All were excellent and rated at 5 stars, including the Mountain House. The hotel and facilities are excellent; the rooms and common guest facilities (dining room, lounge) are beautifully fitted out and spotlessly clean (the hotel was totally refurbished only 18 months ago and is under new ownership); and the location (part way up Mt Taranaki) is very quiet and excellent for exploration of Mt Taranaki (the Kamahi and Patea Walks are great), yet close enough to New Plymouth to explore there, too. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. Our stay at the Mountain House was most enjoyable, despite some very bad weather on Mt Taranaki. The compensation was that it snowed on the mountain (unusual in March), and we managed to get enough of a break in the cloud to briefly see the mountain summit covered in white. more
