- Lynda (10/5): Lovely Motel - Located about 450m walk from central Ohakune township, it's a lovely motel with friendly owners.
All modern units with free onsite parking, sky, there is also a hotpool on site, drying room, and each unit has an outside table and chairs to relax in. Provided is free coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and fresh milk. Also provided is free shampoo, conditioner, soap etc for your use. Unfortunately, there's no air con in rooms, but a standing fan is provided. Suggest you ask for the end room closest to Moore St. as there is a little road noise from heavy trucks using the main highway in the other end unit. But, being in that other end unit, noise wasn't loud enough to disturb our rest.

- Graham (10/5): Lovely warm, clean, well equipped motel. Very comfortable bed. We enjoyed our short stay there. - Just a small thing considering how comfortable we were in the unit really & that was for both of us we found with the shower (after getting it to good temperature) the water kept going from scalding hot to freezing cold constantly. Needless to say we both ended up having 'very' quick showers, lol.
- Hanna (10/5): such a great place to stay - we’ll be back! - The room was very spacious with a lovely high ceiling. very well lit, clean and warm. All modern appliances, fixtures and fittings.

- Supun (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent placeI recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful hotel, and I must say, it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making me feel welcome throughout my stay.
The highlight of my visit was definitely the room with a stunning mountain view. Waking up to such a beautiful sight was truly refreshing. The room itself was spacious, well-maintained, and immaculately tidy, providing a perfect blend of comfort and cleanliness.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a pleasant and memorable experience. The combination of the great staff, the beautiful view, and the superb room made my visit truly exceptional. Nothing
- William (10/5): Great Stay In this Small Town - Fantastic and Friendly Host - We arrived at Ohakune Railway Station and looked at our transport options which were very limited. We called the accommodation to ask for advice and the owner - Denis - said he would be right over to pick us up - how kind. The room was just lovely and had a kitchenette so we could cater for ourselves. The motel had a hot tub which we used on both nights of our stay - just great. Ohakune was a great little town and we enjoyed our stop off here very much. There was nothing to fault.
- Geoff (9/5): Don't judge a book by its cover. - Don't be put off by the outside appearance when you first arrive - the unit itself was brilliant - clean, well appointed and the vaulted ceiling gives a feeling of spaciousness. Great location (next to the Police Station) and handy to all the town has to offer. Nothing.
- Sally (9/5): Superb - Everything! The best motel out of 12 this trip. The only thing, out of the property’s control, was the lorry traffic at night.
- Robert (10/5): Super clean, very helpful owners, great value. - Pristine condition, great location, very helpful owners. Spa is a nice amenity.
- Paul (9/5): Superb - The room was spacious, very clean and had everything you would expect and more. It's in a great location close to the village. Nothing.
- Kevin (8/5): Fine room for a night's stay, but not a memorable location. - The room itself is modern, clean, and spacious. Location is quiet, yet close to the small central district. The overall facility has no character or view (no "curb appeal"). It's fine, though, once your in your room, which is very nice.
- Alan (8/5): Very good -
- Betty (10/5): - When you pull up it doesn’t look very inviting and a bit dated BUT when you enter the apartment you will be blown away! All brand new appliances, beautifully decorated, and spacious!!! Highly recommend.
- Karen (10/5): I want to return! - Fantastic position for getting to both the town and the area.
Very clean and well furnished with plenty of room for all our luggage Nothing, it was brilliant!
- Christopher (10/5): Excellent, quality all round - Apparently the rooms were renovated 5 years ago but they are still spotless. Real quality in the kitchen, wonderful comfortable bed and the first bathroom on our trip that didn’t have some sort of issue, in fact it was super.
Great location, super friendly and helpful hosts , I doubt there’s much better comfort and value in Okakune .
- TL (10/5): Look no further - Awesome, lovely freshly decorated rooms. I am menopausal & the owner was lovely to give me their aircon unit out of their campervan, thank you
- Ross (10/5): Highly recommend - Modern, spacious, private
- Annie (10/5): Excellent modern unit in a central location - Very central, spacious and maintained rooms that had everything we needed. A little warm in the heat of summer without a fan or air-con.
