Motel is located on the edge of Ohakune, with short distance to main street and tourist locations. Motel staff is very friendly and helpful. She offered me quite facility for video meeting in the evening.

Staff were friendly and helpful, my heater was on when I arrived so my room was lovely and warm, the onsite cafe was awesome, nice food, however I thought the place was alittle run down in places and was looking forward to a spa but was put off by the charge for each person, I thought the use would be included with the accommodation price
