room was nice and clean, and the beds were very comfortable. kitchenette made it super easy to feed my family and not buy take aways. kids loved the trampoline! Only downside was the Wi-Fi isn't very good in the rooms we ended up having to use our data.

We were surprised by the upgrade - and it was just fabulous! Perfectly quiet for a couple of old girls having a road trip, and we really enjoyed staying with you. Ohakune had some lovely surprises too - we weren't aware of all the options available. Walking track to the falls was a bit tiring, but we made it half way and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful surroundings.

This property is in a lovely, mostly quiet, residential area not far from restaurants and shops. (Some neighbors seemed to be gearing up for a party one night but all was quiet by 9:30 PM.) The walk to the business district was pleasant and less than 1 mile. Staff at the hotel was very friendly and accommodating. The room and surroundings were clean and comfortable, fine for the price. Ohakune is a short drive from Tongariro National Park and refreshingly uncrowded. Restaurant choices were varied and plentiful. Bonus: a nice view of Ruapehu mountain from the hotel’s neighborhood! We would stay here again.
