Insane value for your money. Had the twin room with bathroom. Cute kitchenette included, good beds, warm. Free parking included.
The Café downstairs has fair prices for what you can get and the personnel is super friendly.
We Germans don't say "Amazing!" very often, but when we do, we mean it. Cheers and thanks for having us.

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.

Ohakune is a nice stop on the railway between Auckland and Wellington. I was there one day and biked the Ohakune Old Coach Road. I could have stayed one day more and done hiking in the Tongariro National Park or done more biking. A problem is the distance (2.5 - 3 km) to walk between the railway station and the new town center.
Honestly it was incredible... ohakune had a lot to offer but coming home to this bach everyday was a highlight for my tribe. We all had great sleeps, great eats and awesome water pressure. The games and tech available ensured everyone was able to wind down at the end of the day. The outdoor space was used every night, perfect view with all the green around us and gorgeous sunsets.
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.
Lovely cozy winter hotel, timeless really. Stayed there 15 years ago... is still the same and still lovely. All the wood, the big fire in the bar, the feeling that you are in a winter haven. The hot pool underneath where you can order a drink from the bar is still a novelty.
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.
We stayed here as a family for 2 nights. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. We liked it so much that we are booked to come back next week. It is definitely the best place for us that we have found so far in Ohakune.
Indoor pool was amazing - heated to about 38 degrees Celsius. All the walls & ceilings of hotel were wooden, such a special feel, just like we were in a ski chalet. Hotel had a bar and restaurant on site, which was great.
Perfect place to stay for our family of 7. Walking distance to supermarket and restaurants. Would definitely recommend if you need a comfortable place to stay if visiting Ohakune.
Great Location, quiet and clean. Nice and close to the good Ohakune restaurants.
Parking outside the unit was very convenient.
Comfortable beds and warm too.
it was a comfortable and clean motel unit on split levels which provided more space. good shower pressure. older style unit but everything worked and was tidy.
