Just a place to lay our heads on the way home. We arrived after dark and left early morning. Arranged to have the unit left open for us. Beautiful view of the ⛰️ mountain the next morning.

No one on property, waited for an hour and a half as notice on locked doors said walking the dogs. Found a mobile number and after 2 phone calls, got a txt to say babysitting, room 10 was open. We found rubbish bin in kitchen full! T.V. did not work. Still no one there at 8.30am next day and notice still saying walking the dogs. Would never go there again and will tell friends and family to not stay there.

A great place to stay if you're just looking for a place to sleep, or if you're on a budget. The room was pretty dated, but still clean and tidy and that's all we wanted. The owners were lovely and so was the motel cat, who made himself at home with us during our stay.

I arrived to letter on door with number to ring for key. No person operating. Bed clean only one bedside table no socket to plug in light. Internet notc connecting says router issue. No one in office to sort. Towels hard no longer white. But all I needed was clean bed for one night. So dated decor not a deal breaker. Left early sent text where id left key as no one in office. Ok for one night only and reasonable price. Wouldnt stay longer .

Liked: Cleanliness
Kitchen in our room was a mictowave and toaster on a office desk. No sink. No utensils other than knives, forks and spoons. Had to fill the kettle with a plastic jug as it wouldn't fit in the bathroom sink which was the only running water. Room was good other than that. We left something behing and the staff got it for us but when we called back in to pick it up at 4.30pm on a Friday it was closed with no staff on the premises. Got told they couldnt send it back, we could just call in next time we're going through. I would have been happy to pay for someone to send it back as i only go though waioru every few years but no. A bit dissapointed especially as i had organized to pick it up on Friday

A great cost-effective alternative to Ohakune if driving north for a day skiing. The rooms, although a little dated are clean and well equipped, and appear to be being gradually modernised over time. Staff are helpful and friendly.
