    Very close to SH traffic noise. Noise from other quests in adjoining rooms.

    Studio room about the size of a hotel room, with a lovely view. Up a flight of stairs. Very cute wee kitchenette and tidy clean bathroom and an enclosed clothes cupboard. Comfy bed. Easy check in and out. Great little place for an overnighter and only a couple of minutes to ohakune township.

    Would have loved just a little milk available for the late night cup of tea - finished too late to get any due to early closing time in town.

    Great location, lovely room & great communication. Thank you for being flexible on check in times.

    A little bottle of milk would be really good to allow guests to make themselves a cup of tea. Also some window furnishings would be great on those top windows as the sunlight comes flooding in in the morning.

    Very comfortable cabin. The bed was extremely comfortable. Bathroom was clean. Shame we were not able to see the view of the mountain as the weather was bad.

    My husband found the bed okay but it was too solid and lumpy for me. It is quite noisy with others next door - which was okay for us on this trip, but means it isn’t a romantic place as you’re easily disturbed.

    The view was pretty. It had two heaters so we were nice and warm. It had lots of hot water and a powerful shower. The little kitchen area had everything we needed. The electric blanket was great too. Nice little bathroom and glad it had a heated towel rail.

    I am being picky and everything was awesome! but Shower did not drain well

    Beautiful wooden decor, great location out of Ohakune (few minute drive). Gorgeous view of Mount Ruapehu. Smart TV and cosy bed. Would love to do the horse trekking when we come back to this part of NZ!

    Was freezing and only form of heating was a tiny heater. Thin walls and someone was cooking tea which the smell drifted right through the house. Showerhead was sore. Kitchen facilities weren't very good.

    Cool location.

    Disappointing Stay: Serious Cleanliness and Comfort Issues

    Unfortunately, our experience was quite disappointing. We found rat droppings in the bathroom, both inside the sink drawer and on the floor, as well as in the kitchen, even on the cutlery. This raises serious concerns about hygiene and cleanliness. The room also lacked any soundproofing. We could hear the couple next door as if they were in the same room, which made it very hard to relax or sleep. Additionally, the shower pressure was excessively strong to the point of being uncomfortable and even painful. We expected a much better standard of cleanliness and comfort, especially for the price paid.

    Location, bed, view.

    Bed is awful, absolutly sank into each other and the pillows left me somewhat broken, No milk supplied for coffee, Say's to park in allocated parking, nothing is allocated so parked in the horse trek carpark. And as mentioned in other comments, the shower is ridiculous, I had read the reviews so knew to be wary, I like a powerful shower though so was actually excited to see how good it got, well when you turned it up, the holder for the shower head said no and I got a face full of water at high pressure, then my partner went to have a shower and of course she just turned it on because she hadn't read the reviews, and the whole bathroom ended up soaked. A screwdriver could fix the bathroom issue, just tighten the holder for the shower head (the pressure is great, if you could use it)

    Location is lovely, has a great view of the mountain etc.

    It was nice to be able to see the night sky but maybe curtains that could be closed on high windows as car lights from road were a disruption to sleep

    Location was good, near Ohakune, lovely outlook across farm, horses, mountain view although partially blocked by tall tree
