Hot tubs were amazing, bed was comfortable, good value for money, amenities in bathroom were nice, location was good. More backpacker than lodge but overall was really nice.

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.
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 😊
We loved this place. The staff were so welcoming and thoughtful - an excellent B&B experience. Rooms were comfortable and lodge area was very comfortable. A delicious, home cooked breakfast was included. Finally, they place has a number of animals on premise and our hosts were very kind to let us pet some of the animals including, sheep, alpacas and a few Maine Coon cats!
Great location overlooking the mountain. The pub attached to the hotel does fantastic food and has a good selection of beers on tap. The room is simple, but had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable. The staff were really friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome.
Frankie and Hugh's felt like home away from home.
Marlene and Wayne were great host and made every effort to make us feel welcome and comfortable. We found the property clean, spacious and well maintained. The breakfast was good and we very much enjoyed our stay at the property.
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.
The unit and facilities were beautiful and cozy. Loved the outdoor space, although the wind and rain made it difficult to utilise throughout our whole stay. The scenery was also wonderful when we could see the mountain through the clouds. Very nice place, would stay again.
We had an amazing time in Ohakune and phenomenal stay in Ohakune. The accommodation is beautiful and the host was warm, informative and gave us tips on where to eat. We both loved the spa with the speakers and seeing the mountain. Stunning and would highly recommend.
Very clean and recently renovated. Heaps of kitchenware and great induction stove top. Very close to Ohakune (less than 5 min walk). Also don't forget to take a dip in the spa baths - they're hidden away at the entrance and easy to miss. Would definitely stay again.
We had a fantastic holiday!!
We loved the Spa Bath on Saturday night.
The Top 10 Ohakune is so close to everything and the Staff were all so helpful and cared about our stay.
The Cabins are extra comfy and surprisingly Soundproof.
Thanks for being Amazing!!!
The Gables B&B is both very spacious, well equipped with a small kitchen, and super cozy! If you are hiking in the park nearby, this is a great place to stay. The star gazing at night is also fantastic since there is so little light pollution!!
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.
Being so far from the township, having the restaurant and bar was a big plus. On site undercover parking for our motorcycles was a bonus.
Some of our party were located some way from the main hotel in "villa" accommodation.
The room was a lovely size with a spacious sitting area. It was fantastic having a beautiful big deep bath to relax in. Comfortable bed.
Reception staff were very friendly and helpful
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.
