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.

The location is great with really good views of Mt Ruapehu when the weather is clear. There are also walking and cycling trails nearby which are worth exploring

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.
Really good well stocked kitchen facilities, comfortable communal lounges, fantastic mountain view family room, with ensuite & balcony, clean & spacious. Lovely spas & sauna for warming up & unwinding on returning from the slopes. Great cafe right there for good coffee & food. I loved the Ohākune carrot & tumeric soup 😋.
Convenient location & plentiful car parks, friendly staff. Would happily come stay again 😊
Very attentive owner who seems to love every inch of his place and aimed to share this feeling with the guests. Every detail in the suite is useful and brings comfort and feeling at home. Jacuzzi is a great option. One and only place for hedonists who want to get more than backpackers’ places usually offer. The Brie in Cyprus Tree is smth you cannot miss, must have.
Great value for money. Everything you need for a self-contained stay, clean, and warm too. Very ‘old-style NZ bach’ feel, with older furnishings and cheap crockery, but proper kitchen & fridge was a real bonus when you don’t want to spend money eating out. Quiet location. Handy little "drying cupboard" where the hot water cylinder is located.
Gables is next to the Mountain to Sea cycleway which you can also use to walk to the start or cycle to Old Coach Road which will take you all the way to Ohakune. The unit is very new clean and spacious. Wonderful continental breakfast with fruit and snacks which were very nice.
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.
Great location right in the centre of Ohakune, with free parking around the back. We've stayed previously and the rooms and bathrooms were as remembered - basic but clean. Easy check in and out, and accommodating of our late check in. Friendly staff.
Perfect location. Clean and tidy rooms. Nice and warm. The heater was already on for our arrival. Everything you need for a nice stay. Staff were so helpful and welcoming. Couldn't of asked for anything more!! The spa pools were fantastic!!
We didn't order breakfast, the room was warm and cosy, the shower had great pressure and was hot, the room was clean, the beds were very comfy. The spa was out of order 😔 we have decided to always stay in a hotel now while we are away 😁
Ideal for walking to town amenities. Bonus access to walking track with native bush. Off street parking meant no car worries.
Friendly operators and bonus utilities make it a notch above the majority of motels.
Room was compact, clean and the bed comfortable. It was nice to have the spa, a bar and restaurant in the hotel.
We will stay there again when traveling through Ohakune.
