    It would have been good to have a mini fridge in each room.

    The hot tub, bar / restaurant and being so close to other bars and restaurants.

    Rooms were quite small so would have been nice to have access to the communal areas during the day. I appreciate though that most people are out & about during the day & things can't be left open for security reasons. Fortunately it was sunny while we were there & we could sit at the outside area.

    Staff were lovely & bar had a good vibe. Nice to have a spa with such a great view & also the continental breakfast was a bonus. Rooms were clean & warm and beds were comfortable

    Heater in the room but no electric blanket. No fridge in the room but you can hire one. Low water pressure in the shower. Very noisy, walls are very thin between rooms can hear everything.

    Location, friendly staff. Smart TV

    The paper thin walls! They provide complementary ear plugs, which says it all! Mind you, the place is historic so it comes with the territory.

    Staff is very friendly. Great food in the restaurant. Continental breakfast was included, which was a nice bonus. Even enjoyed a dip in the spa pool.

    I understand its not really a hotel, but given that there is no daily room cleaning, maybe taking out the rubbish and topping up the coffee, sugar and milk in the room should be a minimum.

    The location was fantastic. Walking distance from decent pub and eateries. The mountain road is super close also. The room was small but well presented, with a tv and freeview channel which we enjoyed when tucking up early. The bed was comfy. The bathroom was decent with good water pressure. Has a decent sized drying room for the skiing gear. Overall a decent stay

    Great location, warm , clean and it was great that it was dog friendly , definitely not enough dog friendly places out there . Our 5 year old also loved the bunk beds too . They also included breakfast (toast and cereal ) which was a perfect way to start the day and more than enough food .

    A bit on the small side.

    The room is small and basic but has everything (almost.. you do need to Rent a Fridge if you need one) Beds are super comfortable and room is warm. Shower is good with nice pressure. It comes with continental breakfast included which is a surprise for us. Great value for our snowboarding trip.

    I didn't like how the TV was an issue to deal with, they have a google cloud like set up so you have to sign in to be able to even watch TV so none of it is free or you pay to watch something, should be just a TV aerial set up where it is free because elderly people will struggle and some people might not be very tech Savy

    I like there is a pub connected that you can go have dinner at and they have really nice food. The other thing I like is the location of the place and the access to a spa that you don't have to book

    Expensive for the basic accommodation.

    We were unaware that the rooms were basically units in blocks. Nothing I saw in the information led me to believe that. I assumed the rooms were in the building. We arrived on a dark, rainy winter evening and had to traipse our luggage to a block at the back of the building. We then had to go through the rain again to the restaurant/bar. We are not blaming Kings for the weather, but it was unexpected as we assumed the rooms were in the main building. The bar had a very "backpacker" feel with loud music and pool tables. Again not a criticism as such but not necessarily the vibe I was looking for. We would have gone to the main street but that would have meant a car journey as it was too far to trek on a horrible evening. The unit was very basic for the price. I know Ohakune is expensive and it was a fair price for the area but it was very pricey for a very basic unit. There was no light near the sink and mirror - which was in the main area so it was difficult to see clearly for doing makeup. The sound from the next cabin came through the wall loud and clear. We could hear the murmer of voices, the tv and every footstep.

    The staff were welcoming. The room was clean and I liked the Fair Trade tea and coffee. The little radiator was on in the room and just managed to warm the room enough. We ate in the restaurant and the food was good.

    Not a problem for me but my partner was disappointed there was no TV evidently they had ordered new ones and they hadn't turned up. Everything else was good.

    The room was very quiet and comfortable with a view of Ohakune.

    Room was a bit too small for my personal liking, but it was only for one night, and there were 3 people in it!

    Good communications, as we were arriving late, and the team contacted me to confirm i was on my way, and still due to arrive, which we did around 9pm.

    A few hooks were all there was to hang clothes, towels, etc. TV picture was black at the top so luckily we weren't really wanting to watch TV. A bit of mold on the bathroom ceiling and the windows streamed in the morning & needed mopping up. Apart from those few niggles, was a good place to stay, close to town & nice view.

    Great location, short walk to a fab breakfast/brunch place just around the corner. Staff were very helpful & gave us great ideas for sightseeing. Had a hot tub just outside the unit, but we somehow never got around to using it, sadly - next time! The shower had great pressure which we appreciated. Had good supply of tea, coffee & hot chocolate with individual milks & a fast kettle. Bed was pretty comfortable & good size (queen). Nice private car parking behind the units. Wifi was handy for planning our trips. Nice table & chairs out on the deck to take advantage of the sun
