Pataka Cafe Whakapapa

Absolutely wonderful views in the summer! Compares favorably to the alpine crossing. But if you want to make the top you will need to arrive before the gondola opens and bring some crampons or similar (mid December). I did the ridge instead and it was well worth the trip.

Excellent place, facilities and amazing adventures in this ski park. Wonderful day in our visit, even if the day is freezing the warmth of its staff is nice and kind, that you forgot the weather.

The place was awesome..Very nice experience for the kids..the only problem we encountered was, because of the unpredictable weather condition ,the first booking was cancelled, we have to go back again.,but it's worth it.

Nice drive up. Amazing views. It was the start of school holidays so lots of family there. I would return.

Great place for skiing! My first time learning snowboarding, which was so much fun! I booked a private learning group and each learner got chances to receive individual guidance. The coach was patient. Also, the sledding was of great fun! The ticket allows for an hour of sledding experience. Food and beverage are available in the village. Staffs were all very friendly. Will definitely come back in the future!
