The Spiral Restaurant Bar

Excellent place to relax and unwind after a day skiing or hiking. The food is delicious and well prepared, and the service cordial and professional. They have a good selection of New Zealand wines and beers. There is a wood burning fireplace next to a few couches — warning: sit there with a glass of wine and you won't want to leave.

We had such a great experience here. The ambiance is perfect, our table can see snow mountain on top. The food is a pleasure, not very special but just yummy. We came at a very busy dinner time, but the service is prompt and friendly.

Thanks spiral restaurant for giving us the good carbs and protein after the tongariro alpine crossing! I enjoyed my beef burger which had all the essentials especially pickles!! My friend demolished the butter chicken and that's a rarity for her. Staff were attentive and considerate. Also enjoyed a post dinner hot chocolate which kept us warm for the rest of the cold night! Thankyou!

We had a family dinner at this place for 7 pax . Has to come in and get a table for reservation due to influx of guests. We were called less than an hour that a table for us has been available. A bit pricey though and no parking space available. Staff were great on their customer service skills. Will recommend this place when in Ruapehu. Back again to stay in the hotel and had buffet breakfast.

Casual pub style dining with a simple menu, uncomplex dishes but something for everyone. Kiwi tucker. Staff were busy yet friendly and helpful, willing to accommodate our large group. Couldn't fault the food, tasty, fresh and quick. Recommend the lamb shanks and the salad. Kids meal (nuggets in photo) was quite generous.
