"Free mini golf, an outdoor pool, recreation area, pool table, ping pong table and a huge unit with two floors and two bedrooms. What wasn’t to like?"

"Especially for a hiking hotel I was extremely impressed with the cleanliness and space. Great bedding and fridge/microwave were nice. I arrived too early but was still welcomed and allowed to check in. Very nice! The town center was across the highway and new world grocery store opened at 7:30 AM. BK next door. "

"Lots of highway noise"

"Chef, reception staff and owner went out of their way to make our stay exceptional. Generous size ensuite room with fabulous outlook and balcony. Warm and cosy and totally appropriate to prepare for and then recover from the Tongariro crossing (hot tub) and to explore Ruapehu. We'll be back for a week next time. "

"Clean and comfortable"

"Great stay. It took a little while to get used to the fact that this property is unmanned but it actually worked very well. Check in was easy. The kitchen was well stocked. The shower pressure was great - although the shower is protected only by a curtain so not super private but wasn’t an issue. The bed was comfy. We stayed in a private room which even had a smart tv! Hostel luxury! Would definitely recommend. It is in the middle of nowhere but easy to access Whakapapa village and the other attractions in the area"

"We loved our stay in National park village. The owners were wonderful. Duchy gave us great advice about the Tongariro crossing (a fabulous walk) and Gill looked after us well and gave us a lift to the station. All facilities were good. Local eating options are limited but reasonable. "

"Clean, quiet and convenient. On site restaurant had a reasonable selection of food at decent prices."

"Motel is located on the edge of Ohakune, with short distance to main street and tourist locations. Motel staff is very friendly and helpful. She offered me quite facility for video meeting in the evening."
