Really nice hosts! This is a bit of a hidden gem, the name may suggest more of a summer vibe but this is a great spot for a winter weekend mission to the mountain. They don’t have many rooms which is kinda nice as is keeps things pretty quiet. Heaps of parking space close to the rooms and the spa was great after a day on the mountain. Simple, very clean and well priced with great host! Not much more you could ask for.

Had a great weekend on the slopes. We thought it was going to be weird with 3 adults in one room (mostly family but not all), but it was like camping at school, so a novelty with lots of laughs. Location is good - walking distance to rental stores and town. Also round the corner from main road to the mountains. Phil was very accommodating and friendly. We just needed a place to sleep and though there was some minimal noise with next room occupants everyone was good about being quiet once it got to midnight. We ate out mostly as there are some good restaurants in town. I recommend booking if you have a family in case it is a busy weekend. Wait times arent too long though. Bring a hair dryer if you need as I dont recall seeing one there. Rooms clean and heating was on for our late arrival which was much appreciated. I hope the spa can be fixed for the next stay, that would be perfect. Thanks!

The rooms were a good size for a bigger group. Had a bit of a hiccup with the booking but Phil had us sorted out easy! Comfortable and clean rooms with ample heating given the cold & rainy weather! One of the rooms had a leak though caused by the terrible rains. But overall it was a great place to stay in and would recommend to others!

Very clean and comfortable accommodation. We stayed in a studio unit with a small kitchen facility that had all the basics. Great spa pool that we enjoyed after a big day on the mountain. Friendly and informative host. Thanks so much. We enjoyed our time in Ohakune.

Easy central, yet quiet location. Our room easily accommodated our family of 5 with comfort. Great having a well stocked kitchenette too . The hosts where very accommodating and we were very impressed to return from a days skiing to see our beds were made and and fresh towels provided. We will definitely stay again.

Amazing place to stay on a quiet street except the very loud sounding alarm in the middle of the night. Town centre within walking distance great and helpful staff on site. Would definitely go back 😊

A great little lodge, extremely close to shops and eateries in Ohakune and more importantly the Ruapehue snow centre office for passes and transport up the mountain. Friendly stafff, nice warm modern room and plenty of parking.

Arrived in the evening at the hotel and good receptions from the staffs' hotel. The staff gave me very good advised and guidance about the attraction places within the area. We stayed in one room at the first floor which included 1x double bed, 1x single bed and sofa bed with 4 adults.

Quite location but within walking distance to shops, supermarket, restaurants and ski shuttle. Room is large and clean. Service is basic and no toiletries provided. Stayed two nights and we felt good about our stay. The hosts were friendly and helpful.

Great service, clean and good location. Only wish the room could be better set up. eg. Only 1switch for the entire room, and 1switch for the bathroom (activating ventilation, light, and heat lamps); so it was not possible to leave a night light on for the kids. eg. Cooking was on a hot plate; so it is only ok for the simplest of cooking.

We stayed here for 5 nights for our snowboarding trip. When we got there the man in charge was really friendly and great to deal with, but unfortunately the next day a younger French lady was in charge instead - she was extremely rude and made us feel very unwelcome, she kept questioning us when we wanted to use the facilities (dyer and washing machine for our snow gear so we could use it dry the next day!) even though when we booked it said these were available for use. She made us feel like we were doing something wrong just staying there! Also there was meant to be free wifi - but this did not work in our room at all which is very inconvenient when your are staying away from home and needing to look up activities/mountain and everything else - my phone bill after this trip is now huge on top of the $730 we paid to stay in this accommodation. The room itself was nice and the bed was comfy and the outdoor spa pool was also really nice addition. The towels were changed for us each day But its sad that the staff really put us off wanting to stay here again and the 'no wifi' wasn't great either.
