Perfect for a long weekend on the mountain!
Really nice hosts! This is a bit of a hidden gem, the name may suggest more of a summer vibe but this is a great spot for a winter weekend mission to the mountain. They don’t have many rooms which is kinda nice as is keeps things pretty quiet. Heaps of parking space close to the rooms and the spa was great after a day on the mountain. Simple, very clean and well priced with great host! Not much more you could ask for.

Had a great weekend on the slopes. We thought it was going to be weird with 3 adults in one room (mostly family but not all), but it was like camping at school, so a novelty with lots of laughs. Location is good - walking distance to rental stores and town. Also round the corner from main road to the mountains. Phil was very accommodating and friendly. We just needed a place to sleep and though there was some minimal noise with next room occupants everyone was good about being quiet once it got to midnight. We ate out mostly as there are some good restaurants in town. I recommend booking if you have a family in case it is a busy weekend. Wait times arent too long though. Bring a hair dryer if you need as I dont recall seeing one there. Rooms clean and heating was on for our late arrival which was much appreciated. I hope the spa can be fixed for the next stay, that would be perfect. Thanks!

The rooms were a good size for a bigger group. Had a bit of a hiccup with the booking but Phil had us sorted out easy! Comfortable and clean rooms with ample heating given the cold & rainy weather! One of the rooms had a leak though caused by the terrible rains. But overall it was a great place to stay in and would recommend to others!

Very clean and comfortable accommodation. We stayed in a studio unit with a small kitchen facility that had all the basics. Great spa pool that we enjoyed after a big day on the mountain. Friendly and informative host. Thanks so much. We enjoyed our time in Ohakune.
