I had a comfortable 1 night stay. Place feels old and makes a bit of noise. It had everything a couple needs to be comfortable. The only thing that could be an issue is noise, the pipes and floors make a lot of noise so you can hear your neighbours if they're awake. New pillows would be nice, mine were a little lumpy, but don't let that discourage you from staying, we still had a great time.
Good kitchen with stove and microwave but no microwaveable cooking dishes. Good internet and lighting. Hotel is on main road so some truck noise early in the evening. Close to the National park and shops. Compact room but adequate for a couple.
Clean, tidy, and quiet. No one on the desk when I arrived but got clear instructions via txt before I arrived about what room I had, where it was, and how to check out.
This was suitable place for a one night stay whilst travelling. Affordable. Little noisy if you were a light sleeper as it’s on the main highway. For us it was very convenient as easy to locate having arrived late at night. Easy access .Clean friendly staff in the morning on departure.
Would stay again.

Very neat and tidy unit and very close to walk into town.
Super easy check in and good communication. A bit of traffic noise from the main road but the location is incredibly convenient to the centre of Ohakune and the rooms are well made up and clean.
It was great experience. Awesome location near water stream flow , really good for meditation. Also leaving close by shops, Bars and restaurants just 2mins walkable distance.

The property is in a great place to restaurants and is tidy, both times we have stayed here there has been noisy ppl either side and have had limited sleep.
Easy sign in and sign out, bed just didn't suit me that's all
Good location, clean & tidy room, love the individual locked dry room very much but the room is too close to the road, was awakened by vehicle noise in night time.

It’s a great place, very clean & comfortable lodging. Beautiful town. Being just by the road it is somewhat noisy at night with truck traffic. But easy to walk everywhere from the hotel. Always trade offs, right? We recommend it!
Right by the township, so everything is within walking distance. Easy check in and check out. Our family unit was warm, spacious and comfortable, with all the usual comforts. Including instant internet access and plenty of power points for charging our devices etc.
Nice place. Some innovations I’ve not seen before. Check in done on the phone. Seamless. Loved the place. Great bush walkway at the back. Centrally located.
