Whangamomona Hotel Historic country hotel in the heart of the Republic. Stay · Eat · Drink · Explore
Forgotten World Highway · Whangamomona · New Zealand

Our grand old hotel offers a relaxing environment, simple accommodation and big country meals. The Whangamomona Hotel reflects the colourful and truly unique nature of the Whangamomona community. This is the second hotel built on this site after the first burnt down in 1911. The current hotel was built on the exact same site in 1912. Our valley has a rich history and our hotel holds a wonderful collection of photos and memorabilia decorating its walls. We have 23 rooms and comfortably sleeps 45 people (we can stretch to 50). Showers and toilets are all shared facilities in 17 rooms in the hotel itself. The Lodge is a recent addition to our grounds which has 5 self-contained rooms. Our working hours are dependent on in-house guests (especially in winter). Please call ahead to confirm we are open. The Whangamomona Hotel will be closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. We look forward to seeing you to eat, drink and disconnect (there is no reception in our valley)!!

INTRODUCING WHANGAMOMONA ATV TOURS

We’re heading off the beaten track 🥾🏔️

Set out from the Whangamomona Hotel with Tony and head into the backcountry, following an unmaintained 17–18km route through working farmland, bush and remote hill country to the historic Bridge to Somewhere.

It’s a private guided experience for up to four people. Tony does the driving, you sit back and enjoy the ride.

Pack a picnic, stop somewhere along the way and make an afternoon of it, with food and drink options available from the hotel.

It’s rugged, remote and a little bit wild. Exactly how Whangamomona should be experienced!

ATV experiences are now open for enquiries.

Head online to find out more, download the information pack or send us an enquiry.
