The location is perfect for hiking and good views :) Hotel rooms are clean and comfortable. I loved the heater in the bathroom :) There is a common kitchen and terrace so you can prepare your own meals and enjoy the view! The hotel offers a shuttle for Tongariro crossing. Unfortunately due to the weather we couldn't do it but we were refunded.

Weather was windy and cold, just the season. But a variety of shopping and plenty to do is always great in Palmerston North. Always something to do. Close to other places, Sanson, Bulls and Ohakea Base and Linton camp. Well worth visiting.

It was our second trip to Ohakune.

It was our second trip to Ohakune. It's a small place with a ski resort character. There are a few places to eat, however, most of them are closed during the shoulder seasons. It's a great place for families as there is a cool playground for children of all ages, plus options for short and long walks. You also have the Old Coach Road cycle trail and other cycling trails nearby. A bonus is the communal swimming pool, which is open during the summer months.

We were quite surprised that the town was looking so deserted compared to just couple of years ago when we last visited. Many of the shops on the main street (and just about all the ones on the side streets) were unoccupied and boarded up. Having only stayed one night, we didn't have much time to do more than walk up and down the main street to see the shops, but the town has quite a run down feel to it. The activities run by the Forgotten World Motel were mostly not operating at this time of the year (September). If you plan to do the adventure activities offered by the Motel, then visit from mid-October onwards when they are fully operating.

Unfortunately the unit we stayed in was infested with ants which were in the bathroom, kitchen and bedroom. We awoke to find them in our beds and crawling all over us. Most unpleasant experience. I advised the manager but he didn't really apologise and I believe he was aware of the situation. His response was that he would need to get a pest controller in. I felt he didn't believe us, but we showed the cleaners and they were shockewd.

The empty Chateau is a shame but we hope that will be sorted soon. The neglected buildings in the village on both sides of Bruce Road is not a good look. Hopefully they will be restored and have tenants soon. We understand Covid and the uncertainly around the sale of the ski field had a big influence but we hope that it would be fixed soon

My baby and I stayed for 2 nights and enjoyed everything about Waiouru. We were at the Oasis motel which is across the road from the Z gas station and next to a Diner,bakery, bar & bottle store which breaks off from the motel but still far away from the rooms. A bit secluded but love how everything’s so close and the nice cold weather.
