It was more spacious and nice than the photos could portray. We really enjoyed the friendly staff and roomy cozy space. Great heating too, even in the summer when the temperature dropped a lot at night.

This motel was nice and quiet. I was there in the ‘off’ season for skiing but it was great for getting some spring time hikes in. Great location for hiking to Waitonga Falls and also being able to walk to the town of Ohakune. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Very nice little motor lodge. Very welcoming staff and very clean. Linen and furniture is a little tired, but aside from that it's a very good spot to spend the night between Wellington and Auckland
1-night trip

10/10

We have now stayed at the Hobbit several times and each time has been great. It's not 5-star but it doesn't pretend to be - it's just a good solid Kiwi motel! It's got a nice quiet location, is always very clean and tidy, and is great value for money. The Hobbit will always be our first choice whenever we're in the area.

lovely place to stay, warm dry and quiet. lovely host. only thing that would make it better is a more comfortable master bed, ended up sleeping in the single bed the second night which was better

Nice comfortable 2-bedroom apartment. Great quiet location, but you probably need a car (15min walk to the main road). very friendly and efficient host.

The bunk beds were so creaky I thought I was going to squash my friend sleeping on the bottom and the room smelt a bit weird, but other than that the bathrooms were all very clean and the reception lady was very nice
