Good location and stay for a weekend gateway.
Turoa ski field just about 20 min away!!
Dedicated parking and good heating with some basic amenities sufficient for a short stay.

Family unit was spacious with two bathrooms. Only one negative…the wifi does not reach to the family unit next to road as too far away.

We were surprised by the upgrade - and it was just fabulous! Perfectly quiet for a couple of old girls having a road trip, and we really enjoyed staying with you. Ohakune had some lovely surprises too - we weren't aware of all the options available. Walking track to the falls was a bit tiring, but we made it half way and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful surroundings.
