Parking is right out front. Some short hikes nearby but you probably need a car to get to longer hikes. Cute little bars/ dining areas one about a 25 min walk and the other right around the corner. Think this hostel is more popular in winter for skiing but room was great and kitchen and shared spaces were cute and homey.

To be fair, I was the only person there so hard to judge. Can imagine it would be noisy if others were coming and going. Simple but nice accommodation. Clean and tidy.

We had a fabulous time. Owner was fantastic and Frankie the dog, so sweet and gentle. We had a small unit with a airing room under the stairs. Everything was clean and user friendly. Gas fire so we were warm and snug. Electric blankets too 😊 Close to the junction.

Had such an amazing weekend in Ohakune. Rimu park is perfectly situated close to everything. The apartment was clean, modern and the gas fire was ready waiting for us. Couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be back again.

‘Choice’ one bedroom apartment, modern, warm, clean, perfect for us - 2 adults and tween. Awesome views of mt Ruapehu from around town and car park entrance at back. Loved our stay, weather was perfect, easy drive to Turoa in 2 wheel drive, great day of snow boarding 😊
