Hot tubs were amazing, bed was comfortable, good value for money, amenities in bathroom were nice, location was good. More backpacker than lodge but overall was really nice.

We stayed in Ohakune to ride the Old Coach Trail - a walking and cycling trail that runs between Ohakune & Horopito. It's a grade 3 trail and we rode it both ways but most people get a shuttle to Horopito and ride it one way. Lovely trail with thick bush, viaducts and views to Mount Ruapehu.
There are a reasonable number of restaurants/cafes in Ohakune, considering it's a small town. We had dinner at Osteria, which was OK. Utopia had nice coffee and pastries.

We re-visited the Chocolate Eclair shop after a number of years, now under new management, eclairs still amazing. Nice town with the accent on it's access to the snow fields. In the winter season the town would be buzzing but in April very quiet.
Our fish and chip dinner was very disappointing in spite of glowing internet reviews, wouldn't recommend. We should have asked a 'local'

Really enjoyed our dinner at Osteria - Italian, lovely atmosphere, attentive staff, delicious food, very popular. Enjoyed a 3 hr return walk into the Hapuawhenua Viaducts along the Old Coach track (need vehicle/shuttle to get to start) and great area for mountainbiking. Went for a drive up the mountain road with awesome views, and a stop at a nearby waterfall. Then a 1 hr native bush walk ( Mangawhero Forest walk) where friendly little fantails and robins flew about and you could hear the whoosh of wood pigeon high in the trees. Dinner at the PowderKeg - a pub setting with dining area. Again, lovely food and within walking distance of accommodation this time. Good supermarket in town and looked around shops (some vacant as is the case with many small rural towns now) and lovely playground/walkway at the Carrotland Adventure Park, then morning cuppa at the Chocolate eclair shop before departing town.

We went to Ohakune to walk the Tongariro Alpine crossing.
We went to Ohakune to walk the Tongariro Alpine crossing. it's a 35/40 min drive to the car park.
We didn't arrive until the afternoon, settled in then went out for dinner.
Hiked the next day and chilled the day after which we were very glad to rest as the hike for incredible but my body was a bit sore the next day!!
Left after checkout on the 3rd day.
The best place for dinner was the Cyprus tree (book as it getting really busy) it was one of the pricier places we ate but definitely worth it.
Osteria was nice too, cheaper, and had more of a pub feeling.
We went to the Mountain Rocks cafe for breakfast- it was cheap and cheerful. The coffee was very nice.
we had food off the menu but they had lots of cabinet food which looked nice too. Savoury and sweet treats.
Ohakune is a very small town, it suited us perfectly as we had activities to do. Lots of small walks and a waterfall too.

Very likely quieter in Summer than Winter.
Very likely quieter in Summer than Winter.
Lots of walks of easy access, some without a car. Lots of trail rides (MountainstoSea).
Enough shops + New World (small version of it!) and heaps of cafés and restaurants make Ohakune an easy town to venture from in Summer.
Large selection of accommodation, from backpackers to chalets to Powderhorn Chateau.
This time we were accommodated in a family room with an ensuite.
The room was light, airy, and warm with a view of the mountain.
The space was modern and had good communal spaces.
After being hosted previously in a 4mx3m room with 5 beds, it was great to have space to move and dress.
The bathroom was clean and bright.
It was the first room this week where I felt myself relaxing.
Definitely planning another trip to Ohakune to stay at this location.
Honestly it was incredible... ohakune had a lot to offer but coming home to this bach everyday was a highlight for my tribe. We all had great sleeps, great eats and awesome water pressure. The games and tech available ensured everyone was able to wind down at the end of the day. The outdoor space was used every night, perfect view with all the green around us and gorgeous sunsets.
We had an amazing time in Ohakune and phenomenal stay in Ohakune. The accommodation is beautiful and the host was warm, informative and gave us tips on where to eat. We both loved the spa with the speakers and seeing the mountain. Stunning and would highly recommend.
We had a fantastic holiday!!
We loved the Spa Bath on Saturday night.
The Top 10 Ohakune is so close to everything and the Staff were all so helpful and cared about our stay.
The Cabins are extra comfy and surprisingly Soundproof.
Thanks for being Amazing!!!
A very handy motel with good facilities. It was very clean and had all the good motel features one would expect. It was roomy. It was in a good location within walking distance ro driving distance if preferred of the small township of Ohakune.
Location was good. Good it has everything you need. Full kitchen, bathroom and laundry and seperate bedrooms. Would be good to know there was the option of your own private spare or slightly more comfort and upgrades in different chalets
Perfect location at the Raethi/Ohakune junction. Really friendly and helpful staff. Treat yourself to a spa after a days hiking/cycling/ski-ing.
Drying room was a bonus
Plenty of off road parking at the rear of the property
it was spacious for a studio, superbly clean and has been well cared for and maintained. the bed was firm and not old and saggy as with some motels. Great shower water pressure and instant heat. It was all simple and easy.
Great Location, quiet and clean. Nice and close to the good Ohakune restaurants.
Parking outside the unit was very convenient.
Comfortable beds and warm too.
Great space for a family with access to the facilities of the hotel, but the freedom of a house. Having the pool and restaurant right next door was great.
Such a great place to stay. It's a budget hotel but fantastic value for money. Rooms are basic but have everything you need and the staff are wonderful.
