We stayed in a family room, the beds were large & comfy and the rooms well appointed with nice furniture. We ate dinner in the restaurant and the food was superb. It's right on the mountain so surrounded by beautiful bush and bird song. Staff...were very friendly and welcoming. The price was very competitive with local motels but nicer because of the lodge atmousphere etc. Definitely recommend. Thanks for a great stay.More

After visiting Stratford, went on the road that takes you up Mount Taranaki and stopped at the restaurant for lunch. Ordered the seemingly simple fish and chips. Actually this is an easy dish to mess up - not here! The batter was the best I've...ever had - beautifully aerated, crunchy and encasing perfectly cooked snapper. Service was very attentive and, as always, if the owner / manager is on site it always boosts performance. The team looked like they took pride in what they were serving and it showed in the food and presentation. I would imaging it would be magical at night - but another time.More

This place rocks. The Mountain House was fully booked out for breakfast. We didn't have a booking but were made to feel important. We were served coffee by the fire and when a table became available we were move to the most awesome view. The...food, coffee and staff were great. Thanks for a lovely dining experience.More

Were given a gift voucher for a nights accommodation, dinner and breakfast. Stayed here about 20 years ago so some good updates to the rooms which were light bright and airy, only negative would be no aircon, but it was not too warm the day...we stayed. dinner and breakfast was excellent, could not fault the food at all. Wait staff were very attentive, probably a little bit too much so. would say it was good value for cost of the voucher and would definatly go back again for a meal.More

We had a superb meal at the Mountain House tonight. The menu selection was fantastic and the meal itself did not disappoint - pork belly starter, beautiful fillet main and a 70s special brought up to date for dessert : pear and ginger bombe Alaska!!...Superb!! Great service, good value, stunning location and an overall fantastic meal out - and they even had Glayva which was a delightful surprise.More

All in all an enjoyable dining experience in wonderful surroundings with a lovely log fire in the lounge bar area. worth the travel up through the mountain bush.More

This is a lovely place to have lunch and warm up when visiting snowy Mt Egmont. When we arrived the restaurant was fully booked for lunch but they still offered us items from their snack menu. We loved sitting on their couch and eating hot...soup. They have a really cosy area filled with couches around the fireplace.More

A lovely greeting on arrival, the flame effect fires were on and it was very cosy. We had booked to have dinner, overnight stay and breakfast. We had room 4...which was lovely and we enjoyed a spa bath, room was kept warm with a heater...and beds had electric blanket. Proper milk too for making your tea/coffee (something I always appreciate). We relaxed by the fire for a few drinks before dinner, and wow what a dinner....we had Scallops and prawns, Rewana garlic bread, Steak and blue cheese sauce and smoked duck, followed by Lemon panacotta.....Service was awesome, friendly chatty staff and owners................... Can highly recommend for a night away or longer.....felt totally relaxed and refreshed. Oh I forgot to mention breakfast, again great service and the big brekkie went down well with hubby and the breakfast burger was delicious. .....More

visited on a wet day in Taranaki, it so cosy inside, didnt want to leave. The staff were really nice and friendly, and the food portions were tasty and large, it was good value for money, and would love to go back sometime soon

We had a lovely lunch here. Good food, reasonable prices, great service. We were late for our booking but they were very helpful and understanding. The views are superb too.

Went for brunch on sunday with friends who live in the area. All the meals were really lovely. The breakfast burgers had lovely homemade hash browns,my husband raved about the huge french toast. Coffee good and strong. My friend always gets the hot chocolate which...she said is delicious.We sat outside as it was a stunning day, unfortunately tables with the mountain view were taken. It was a really relaxing. Staff lovely and friendly. Would advise to book on the weekend, as I noticed all the inside tables were reserved for lunch.More
