Really enjoyed our dinner at Osteria - Italian, lovely atmosphere, attentive staff, delicious food, very popular. Enjoyed a 3 hr return walk into the Hapuawhenua Viaducts along the Old Coach track (need vehicle/shuttle to get to start) and great area for mountainbiking. Went for a drive up the mountain road with awesome views, and a stop at a nearby waterfall. Then a 1 hr native bush walk ( Mangawhero Forest walk) where friendly little fantails and robins flew about and you could hear the whoosh of wood pigeon high in the trees. Dinner at the PowderKeg - a pub setting with dining area. Again, lovely food and within walking distance of accommodation this time. Good supermarket in town and looked around shops (some vacant as is the case with many small rural towns now) and lovely playground/walkway at the Carrotland Adventure Park, then morning cuppa at the Chocolate eclair shop before departing town.

We went to Ohakune to walk the Tongariro Alpine crossing.
We went to Ohakune to walk the Tongariro Alpine crossing. it's a 35/40 min drive to the car park.
We didn't arrive until the afternoon, settled in then went out for dinner.
Hiked the next day and chilled the day after which we were very glad to rest as the hike for incredible but my body was a bit sore the next day!!
Left after checkout on the 3rd day.
The best place for dinner was the Cyprus tree (book as it getting really busy) it was one of the pricier places we ate but definitely worth it.
Osteria was nice too, cheaper, and had more of a pub feeling.
We went to the Mountain Rocks cafe for breakfast- it was cheap and cheerful. The coffee was very nice.
we had food off the menu but they had lots of cabinet food which looked nice too. Savoury and sweet treats.
Ohakune is a very small town, it suited us perfectly as we had activities to do. Lots of small walks and a waterfall too.

Very likely quieter in Summer than Winter.
Very likely quieter in Summer than Winter.
Lots of walks of easy access, some without a car. Lots of trail rides (MountainstoSea).
Enough shops + New World (small version of it!) and heaps of cafés and restaurants make Ohakune an easy town to venture from in Summer.
Large selection of accommodation, from backpackers to chalets to Powderhorn Chateau.

Ohakune is a nice stop on the railway between Auckland and Wellington. I was there one day and biked the Ohakune Old Coach Road. I could have stayed one day more and done hiking in the Tongariro National Park or done more biking. A problem is the distance (2.5 - 3 km) to walk between the railway station and the new town center.

We were there for a wedding. The venue was lovely. We went out for dinner which was very nice.
We saw some walkways but didn't have time to go there.
There were many views of the mountain which were stunning.

Nice shops, restaurants, nice scenic walks all around town/...
Nice shops, restaurants, nice scenic walks all around town/streams etc, wicked views of Ruapehu on clear days, excellent hassle free ski/board hire outlet shops. Good amount of affordable lodge accommodation.Although a longer trip up to ski field than whakapapa, I really enjoy the scenic trip up, and road not as intimidating or steep on those icy mornings in a front wheel drive car.
Nothing I don't like about Ohakune 🙂
This time we were accommodated in a family room with an ensuite.
The room was light, airy, and warm with a view of the mountain.
The space was modern and had good communal spaces.
After being hosted previously in a 4mx3m room with 5 beds, it was great to have space to move and dress.
The bathroom was clean and bright.
It was the first room this week where I felt myself relaxing.
Definitely planning another trip to Ohakune to stay at this location.
This was excellent for the cost. It is a 'backpacker' type accomodation but was clean, cosy, everythinng worked well, staff were very helpful. If you are on a budget you will be very pleased, if you just like to save you will be very happy here. If you want luxury look elsewhere. But clean comfortable quiet handy, this is great. We are mid 60's and could easily pay more but like to save and we liked it and would stay here again.
The location is perfect right in the middle of Ohakune. Really appreciated the common area including the kitchen, well maintained and spacious with everything we needed. Nice to have a sink in the room when sharing a bathroom. Easy parking out the back of the building. The heaters kept the room at a nice temperature and you can turn them on and off when you like.
THE POSITIVES: The home was light, airy, and spacious. It was well equipped and had all the conveniences you would need to enjoy a few days away with friends. Great location to restaurants, bars, and cafés all within walking distance. Situated in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood. We enjoyed the logburner ambiance.
booked a standard room. upon arrival asked if there was one with a kitchenette. the hotelier said there had been some cancellations so there was availability. $20 per night. but ended up not taking the additional money. appeared grumpy. heart of gold. thanks man!! really helped our stay
This lodge suits perfectly for our group of families, individual chalets but close to each other, we can have kids playing together (it's safe and quiet inside the chalets lodge). Very clean and the facilities providing a comfortable stay for families. Spas and sauna are the extra bonus
The location with the view. it is a small space and not completely private, but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Sitting on the deck in the morning, and while it was raining was fun and the beautiful walks right from the door were special. We appreciated Chris as a host also.
Nice, modern and comfortable room with skytv and wifi. Convenient location although a little way from either end of town it is easy to get to either end for food or whatever. Friendly staff and great spa pool. For a short, cheap snow get away you can't beat it.
Our room was initially not as booked but was rectified promptly & with apologies. Facilities are awesome, enjoyed the spa, played pool & great breakfast. Very friendly staff & we enjoyed chatting with fellow guests in the lodge, lots of fun .
Everything is perfect and excellent. The room is big, clean, comfortable, warm and with well-equipped kitchen, balcony and washing machine. Hotel also has shared hot pool and free for use.
Hot tubs were amazing, bed was comfortable, good value for money, amenities in bathroom were nice, location was good. More backpacker than lodge but overall was really nice.
