The hosts are are such nice people. Being a kiwi I’m not used to sharing a lounge and a big dining room table with others but when I got there it was what made it so special. A beautiful setting hosted by lovely people. Best place I have stayed in in ohakune

Amazing Hosts

Pros: The hosts were amazing, and always had a smile on their face. It was a very welcoming stay. Rooms were clean and comfortable.
Lovely place to stay, with stunning scenery all around and very comfortable rooms. Heather and Peter were very friendly and welcoming throughout the stay. There is a great breakfast selection - a perfect way to prepare for a day on the mountains. Would highly recommend the lodge to anyone.
