We were absolutely blown away by this hotel. The location was perfect for our skiing holiday. Our room was small and cosy (and warm). the size was what we booked and we were happy and tbh we only went to our room at sleeping time. the room was serviced daily as well which was nice after a long day skiing. after skiing we hung out in the restaurant in front of the fire. The restaurant was so busy yet the standard of food and service was exceptional. And the portion size of all the food was so big. We had the fish & chips, pizza, curry, soup, burgers, ribs...everything was so well prepared. Buffet breakfast - WOW. my kids were in heaven. Everything was amazing. Accommodation. Staff. Food. Honestly 10/10. we even booked an extra night as we didn't want to leave :-) will definitely be back.

The accomodation was basic, but had everthing we needed and was spotlessly clean and tidy. We especially loved the owner/manager, Linda, who was fantastic, so very accomodating when we needed to extend our stay, and full of beautiful wisdom that both my wife and I were so very grateful for. Thanks Linda, we'll definitely stay here again.

Cool place to stay. Great hosts. Was exactly as I thought it would be, great character. I thought it was fairly quiet, bearing in mind it's close to the main highway. Clean, warm and good location for me. Thanks.

We were stopping over on our way to the ferry so we only stayed around 4-5 hours. The bed was comfy and warm, heaps of power points in the room. I only used the shared bathroom once and it was fine but my partner used the shower and he was happy with the facilities. My partner said the view was amazing but I was already asleep at that point. We had parking assigned behind the property which was convenient.

    The park was very close to Tongariro National Park, which made things very convenient for our hiking plans. The communal kitchen was clean and had nice equipment, the dishes they provided made cooking meals easy, and they provided the room with a minifridge that helped as well. It was perfect for campers and hikers who are hoping to have a comfy bed after tent camping or hiking a lot!

    We were in PN because of treatment at the hospital for recently diagnosed cancer. On discharge from the hospital we choose to go to the cafe Thyme and Fig. We spotted a car park right outside the cafe. Perfect as my wife had a catheter in tow and was wearing her pyjama bottoms. When we had hydrated we decided to head home to Greytown. You guessed it- we got a parking fine. I'm afraid that soured our stay in PN. We were frassled and never thought about a parking infringement. There are no parking meters in Greytown so it certainly wasn't on our radar. I'm astounded that the fine is $70. That is steep for pensioners.

    It was a great experience. Mountain was warmer up the to & colder at the bottom. It's wise to go up the gondola ride see the mountain close up front. There is snow field up the top for seating & restaurant. National park is just mesmerising very iconic. Worth visiting. I would go again next time for the crossing.

    Ohakune is a town still recovering from COVID and some not so good ski seasons, but it is beautiful and well worth the visit. Apart from skiing and snowboarding, the mountain is a beautiful place to hike, mountain bike, or just visit for the view. Ohakune is small and easy to get around, with great cafes and restaurants. The ski shops are fantastic with really helpful staff (TCB is amazing).

    The management is chaotic. I lost my ski poles. It took me an hour to find them among three girls. I found that all their equipment was someone else's. I was shocked. There were too many novices. My friend's child was hit three times in one day. It was really dangerous.

    Unfortunately the unit we stayed in was infested with ants which were in the bathroom, kitchen and bedroom. We awoke to find them in our beds and crawling all over us. Most unpleasant experience. I advised the manager but he didn't really apologise and I believe he was aware of the situation. His response was that he would need to get a pest controller in. I felt he didn't believe us, but we showed the cleaners and they were shockewd.

    My baby and I stayed for 2 nights and enjoyed everything about Waiouru. We were at the Oasis motel which is across the road from the Z gas station and next to a Diner,bakery, bar & bottle store which breaks off from the motel but still far away from the rooms. A bit secluded but love how everything’s so close and the nice cold weather.
