Great location with only one block into the main restaurant area but really quiet as set off the street. Room had everything we needed. Off street parking was great.

No kitchen sink so had to do dishes in bathroom. Door was rickety but was fixed immediately when I mentioned it. A bit dusty and cobwebby!

Great location. Great shower. Bathroom very clean. Amazing friendly service.

Excellent location, perfect for our needs while we were in town. Having the chance to use the spa. Owners' communication was great. Having a VIP discount at a local restaurant was a nice touch. Would use again

The location is excellent, with easy walking access to shops and restaurants. Easy to check in and out, and staff checked in via text to make sure everything was okay.

Not a fan of non contact check in and check out done by text messages. It is also mention from other guests about contactless check in/out and some are also not fans. We like to meet the host as it makes it a more personal stay. I did however met the manager briefly as she came on site to fill the spa. It was a great timing as the Heater on the wall was not good enough to heat the room .We were supplied another heater which did the job and then the wall heater was able to cope. No heater in the bathroom only heat lamps which did nothing. Ohakune is a cold environment and we are surprised that accomodation we have stayed in the past and this one does not have adequate heating.

Close to town and only a short drive to the mountain for skiing or sightseeing. It’s a small compact unit that is ok for one night but personally we would not want to stay any longer as it is a bit small. It was clean and had a great shower which is the reason we booked it based on the shower rating from other reviews. We hate places that have showers that are low pressure and not hot. This shower unit was good but you did need to adjust the temperature very slowly or it would be scolding hot or freezing cold. Once you found the correct setting it was good. Electric blanket was nice as the temperature plummeted overnight. Ohakune is not a cheap place to stay but we do understand it is seasonal so they have to make the most of the winter trade. It’s a great town and we will return next year in yet to be chosen accommodation.

On this occasion it was very cold outside with heavy frosts. We found the heating was not able to keep up with the cold. We should have requested a second heater. This is the only time we have had this issue.

We have used this property on a number of occasions driving between Wellington and Auckland. We find it to be perfectly sited for our break and close to restaurants etc. it is always good value

I stay here whenever I am travelling in the area. Booking and self checkin comms are efficient (via text); location is central; Unit has all the basics for an overnight stay. A genuine old school Kiwi Motel :-)

The room was cold and took a while to heat up. Would be better if staff heated room on cold days before guests arrive

Very good location to stay for parkrun Mangawhero river walk Saturday morning 8am

Simple but comfortable accommodation and exactly what I wanted for the visit to the area. Convenient location.

The beds were not the best. Toilet had a clean seal on it but it had dried poop at the back of the toilet from the previous guests in the bowl. Was not very nice. No staff onsite so just a key in a lock box. If a staff member was on site we probably would have complained about the state of the toilet.

Great location.

Parking in front of the unit, very close to restaurants and shop, seamless check-in. Great shower, comfortable beds.

A very pleasant place to stay, reccomended

No air conditioning, but it wasn’t an issue as it wasn’t too hot, and in winter it has a heater to keep things cozy

Conveniently located, very clean, classic style of motel, friendly and efficient check in - check out process. Good parking directly in front of the unit and a shower with very good pressure. Close to town shops and eateries.

It was a good motel for an overnight stay but would be too small for a longer stay

No breakfast. Location great

Very very hot inside, a fan would’ve been great, especially in the bedroom. Lots of flies (unavoidable at this time of year), we bought a can of fly spray from the new world so that solved the fly problem.

It was very clean and tidy. Beds comfy

Didn't get to meet anyone(staff), we had a text telling us where we were staying and how to get in. I didn't see this till after I saw the message on reception door to ring 1 of two numbers. Tv didn't work, ! Door didn't lock from the inside, and made an awful noise when opening/ closing.

Beds were clean and comfortable, the location was perfect

Stayed in February 2025

Cramped parking, quite noisy with trucks rumbling nearby and fire siren going off in middle of the night. Could do with a bit of a renovation- mould in bathroom corners etc

Reasonable value, easy walking distance to shops and restaurants

Stayed in February 2025

Unfortunately we didn’t have a great sleep. We found the bed quite hard and we were all woken by the volunteer fire alarm going off next door at 1:45am for a really quite a long time. We also found it a bit odd that we didn’t see anyone at reception at all, even tho we arrived before 4pm on a Friday afternoon. All the communication was done by text and the key was left in a lockbox, which was fine of course, but had we had any questions like recommendations on where to eat or things to do it might’ve been nice to have seen someone.

It was clean and tidy and easy to access. There was a carpark available.

Needs a chopping board in the kitchen

Plenty of space for a couple, really quiet. Watch out for the water pressure in the shower, its the most powerful ever experienced 🙂
