Our chalet was a modern two bedroom apartment. The furnishings were great. The kitchen was well stocked with crockery, cutlery etc. There was an oven and dishwasher. The bed was cosy and comfortable. In the bathroom there was a washing machine and dryer. Outside was a carport and storage area.
The Chalet was walking distance to town.

Compact, efficient unit. Modern, clean, nice bathroom and kitchenette. Walking distance to town, groceries and restaurants.
Very handy for Tongariro Alpine Crossing. We took the Dempsey bus shuttle from Ohakune to the start of the trail,picked up at the end then a ride back to Ohakune. Good value. Great bike rental close by for the Coach Road trail. Fantastic.

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.
due to rain (traveling by motorcycle) and a failed attempt at the river canoe trip, I ended up staying at the Hobbit for way longer than anticipated, but my stay was fantastic and comfortable! Michelle who runs the lodge is a wonderful person and puts alot of effort in to keeping the lodge clean and comfy for guests! I would def recommend staying here if you are coming through Ohakune!
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.

The location is perfect right in the middle of Ohakune. Really appreciated the common area including the kitchen, well maintained and spacious with everything we needed. Nice to have a sink in the room when sharing a bathroom. Easy parking out the back of the building. The heaters kept the room at a nice temperature and you can turn them on and off when you like.
THE POSITIVES: The home was light, airy, and spacious. It was well equipped and had all the conveniences you would need to enjoy a few days away with friends. Great location to restaurants, bars, and cafés all within walking distance. Situated in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood. We enjoyed the logburner ambiance.
The chalets are clean and well furnished. The heat pump had been turned on before our arrival ensuring a comfortable and warm arrival. The grounds are well maintained and communal facilities include sauna and spa. The location is just a short walk into town. Highly recommended.
We loved the home overall (open layout, wonderful aesthetics with the outdoor shower, beautifully decorated area around the incredible outdoor hot tub/spa (which was very easy to operate), the kitchen well stocked, very nice bathrooms, and an easy to use washer and dryer.
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.
Pure quality. We were expecting run of the mill motel lodge but it was upmarket and far exceeded expectations. Alan and Susie were exceptional hosts and really made us welcome. Nothing was too much. Booked us a table at a busy restaurant for a very nice meal.
Very friendly helpful staff. I left some papers behind and they went out of their way to get them to me. Absolutely beautiful location with wonderful views of the volcano. Hot spa on the deck with a view was magical. Friendly family atmosphere and good food.
Indoor pool was amazing - heated to about 38 degrees Celsius. All the walls & ceilings of hotel were wooden, such a special feel, just like we were in a ski chalet. Hotel had a bar and restaurant on site, which was great.
Everything is perfect and excellent. The room is big, clean, comfortable, warm and with well-equipped kitchen, balcony and washing machine. Hotel also has shared hot pool and free for use.
in a Good Motel with hot pool, rooms are laid out well and clean. We were greeted in a very friendly and professional manner. Plenty of parking spaces right near every room.
