This was suitable place for a one night stay whilst travelling. Affordable. Little noisy if you were a light sleeper as it’s on the main highway. For us it was very convenient as easy to locate having arrived late at night. Easy access .Clean friendly staff in the morning on departure.
Would stay again.
Very quiet at the back. Some of our group were booked roadside and it was very noisy

Ohakune is a great little town to spend a night in, plenty nearby Snowhaven.
Room was small but sufficient, staff were low touch but efficient, the main issue I had (acknowledging a lot of this is outside of their control due to SH1 being closed at the time and bypassing through Ohakune) was noise related. Slept terribly due to heavy traffic passing by outside and more noticeably the guest in the adjacent room snoring, unfortunately both heard easily in our room.
Room was right on the road, so we didnt get much sleep due to traffic noise and trucks engine braking all night, no staff on site.

The property is in a great place to restaurants and is tidy, both times we have stayed here there has been noisy ppl either side and have had limited sleep.
Easy sign in and sign out, bed just didn't suit me that's all
All good, nothing to complain about. Provided a good night's sleep.

Good location. Well appointed for the price. A bit tired and could do with a deep clean. Good value for the price. No one really running the place. Any time I needed something I would have to speak with one of the cleaners who spoke limited English. Very pleasant and helpful but no one at the front desk at any time and no way to get help without going to look for the cleaning staff.

More weather protection over the unit door would help on wet days.
The hot water took a long time to come through. But overall it was okay for a one night stay
