Reviewed Jan 19, 2026It was a great middle point for our New Zealand adventure. We were allowed to use their laundry facilities which was awesome as we got soaked in the rain and felt really gross. They also had a wood burning fire place which was amazing to use. If we planned to stay longer we would have hung out in the communal areas and even used their sauna. Wish we stayed longer!

Reviewed Dec 24, 2025It’s such a calm and relaxing place to stay. There are only 4-6 rooms so there aren’t many other people around. You feel like you’re in a tranquil space. The rooms are lovely, you can enjoy a hot tub soak, cosy up infront of a fire and watch the sun set on Mount Ruapehu! Minzy and Mi cook all of the meals for you - it feels very special.

Fabulous host on the night, Sukhi cooked one of the best curries we've had in a long time. We made a good choice to have him cook rather than drive back to Ohakune in search of a meal. Arrangements, advices, payments all made with the minimum of fuss - thanks and hope to visit again in the months ahead.

Reviewed Nov 11, 2024Great location for our one night stay on the last leg of our trip home after three weeks away.
Stunning view of the mountain and very peaceful.
Comfortable bed and lounge.
It was unpleasant to be met on our arrival by overpowering cooking/food smells throughout the entire facility, which lingered overnight.
The provisions left for breakfast were woeful, considering the cost of the accommodation. Cornflakes or weetbix, the “fresh” fruit wasn’t fresh, the scattering of prepackaged bread, butter and preserves in the fridge …. it was all very unprofessionally presented and unappetising. We were grateful we had our own to fall back on.
There was no coffee making equipment, but there was a coffee milk frother!!
While the bathroom looked beautiful, the shower was very difficult to get and maintain a warm temperature without being scalded. The bath salts sachet was wet and had obviously been used before.
The grounds/gardens were overrun with weeds which detracted from what would otherwise have been a very pleasant outlook.

We paid extra for a mountain view, but the trees blocked the mountain view. They also offer a bath infront of a large window, however you have to have the blind down because there is nothing stopping the neighbouring room to see you in the bath, so you don't actually get to enjoy the view from the bath. The bathroom was also quite dirty, it looked like candle wax? On the floor under the bath, hairs around the bathroom and stains on the blinds
The location was great, and the place was very clean. The bathroom is modern.
The breakfast was described as "delicious" in other reviews and was described as "very good breakfast" in the booking. This must have changed- the breakfast is cereal in jars with only enough milk given for two teas (we couldn't even have the cereal), a few slices of plain bread in the fridge, and fruit. This was not my expectation for a "bed and breakfast" and in a relatively remote area, it was annoying to waste time getting breakfast when I thought it was taken care of.
There is no one at the desk- the place feels dead with no hospitality. I rang the desk bell for towels several times as our room had not yet been serviced by 1 PM- no one answered and I had to get towels from the hot tub area. Without service, I felt I should have booked an airB&B.
The room was clean. The food was great. The bed was great
I didn't like that it was a bedroom in a large house. A sliding door was the only thing between us and the kitchen where the ower was cooking. That's a bit weird.

Used toilet roll on floor, pencil and rubbish under the tv cabinet, candle unusable in bathroom as it was burnt down to the base. Bathroom needed a better scrub in a few places. The sofa was pretty stained and needed a wash clean, we tried flipping cushions over and they were worse underneath. The Bathroom handsoap was so waterdown it sprayed all over you when you pumped it. Freezer still had frozen food in it from previous guests. Breakfast and toilet paper lasted only one day. Overall if you can overlook these things, and slightly odd way it is run - I would say this is up there with top places to stay in the area as the building and gardens are lovely.
