Amazing experience top to bottom. Delicious food and great service at the restaurants for both dinner and breakfast. Loved our stay and wish it was longer.
penelope
Yes
John
Clean room, great food, attentive staff.
Zoe
We were just passing through but wished we stayed longer. Rooms were fantastic, had a Queen suite with an en-suite and it was stunning - cannot recommend a stay here enough. I can imagine in ski season this is the perfect spot to begin and end your day, especially with a lovely pub, restaurant and warmed pool!
Robert
Great room. Restaurant seems a bit pricy. Cooler broken meant only one beer on tap. It was good but pricy for the season.
Beth
Wonderful venue and great staff. Recommend!
Jared
Great staff, Daria was very helpful, and the room was clean and perfect!
Cathi
Loved the cosy feel, the pool was great the food was excellent. Need a frequent stay loyalty program.

Tara
We enjoyed our stay here. Everything was clean and tidy and well maintained. Food was great. Swimming pool was nice and warm and cosy.Location was great. We would definitely go back.
Ian
it's a great base to explore the mountain, and loved hanging out in the Powderkeg at the end of the day. Excellent food and service. 2nd time staying and will definitely be back. Thank you!
Judy
This property advertises a heated pool. This is the second year that I have stayed at the Powderhorn and the pool has been cold. This is extremely disappointing and I will not return again. Shame for Ohakune.
Victor T
One of the my favorite hotels on month-long trip to New Zealand. After hiking 6-hour Tongariro, the expansive hot tub-pool at Powderhorn was just what the doc ordered. Laundry room on the floor a plus -- and hotel dining facilities (for dinner and breakfast) were very good.
David
Great place and fantastic hot pool
bertrand
Hôtel montagnard de bois charmant. Offre des chambres en pavillon principal et 3 chalets adjacents. Ces chalets sont tout équipés ( garage intérieur inclus).Piscine intérieure chauffée appréciée après les randonnées. Belle adresse.
Michael
Should have stayed more than one night.
Doug
Still the best hotel in Ohakune - some great improvements to the rooms. Lots of mountain character!
Andrew
Beautiful property and very cozy.
HENRY
This is a 5 star property at a 3 star price.
The staff was amazing, the rooms more than comfortable and the restaurant had great food

Heather
Probably the best you can get for the area, but the wear and tear on this place is hard and the maintenance is lagging. If your expectations are not set at high end resort levels you will probably not be disappointed.
Sophie
Beautiful scenic area with convenient access to mountain (skiing and hiking). Hotel was very comfortable.
Susan
Great place to stay inside pool and restaurants. Found the lighting in the room poor and sofa was very uncomfortable to sit on.
Marina
We had an excellent stay and the staff were friendly and helpful. The facilities are very nice in general. Perhaps some things like the bathrooms looking a little dated but nothing major.
Perrett
Gorgeous place to stay. Everything you need right there. Room was perfect and the staff were really friendly and professional.
Matthew
Our favorite bar with fireplace
Rachael

Yvonne
Loved the hot spa, unfortunately the temperature wasn’t hot enough a few of the days we stayed there.
The pub was amazing, nice open fire, area for the kids to play and great food!

The aesthetic appeal of the establishment is quite pleasing, and the surrounding area is aesthetically pleasing. The Powderkeg restaurant and bar provided an exceptional and extraordinary experience. The staff demonstrated exceptional professionalism and provided outstanding service.
The only significant concern is the pricing structure of the mini-bar, which may be considered excessive.

The swimming pool was a great hit and it is fantastic to get a new towel for the pool each time we went swimming.
The staff were great and helpful with suggestions of things to do and places to go.

Nice enough for an overnight. Very rustic, updating needed. Lighting very poor. Balcony was nice but lots of bugs and no screens

The staff and hospitality were beyond excellent. Everyone was helpful and friendly. They offered transportation and information about the area.

Very charming hotel! Wish we had more time to stay. The property feels very much like a ski lodge and I'm sure is gorgeous in the winter. Just as nice and more quiet in the summer!
We ate at the more casual restaurant - great food and enjoyed having drinks on the rooftop patio. We didn't have a chance to swim in the heated pool but it looked lovely. We loved learning that some of the Lord of the Rings cast stayed here when they were filming! 10/10 recommend

Amazing hotel.
Amazing hotel. Very close to ski hills and volcano. Food and beer were great. Very comfy rooms. easy parking. The only thing is ask for a room far from the automatic door as the knock on the wall when they open and it might disturb you at night.
Paula
Great place to stay for a day on the mountain skiing.

Looks a little tired around the edges. Staff lovely, but definitely some where new to hospitality. Restaurant menu in the evening wasn’t bad but the food was disappointing especially the lamb rump. Really hope you continue to improve as it’s a great site!

Accommodation was great. Restaurant as part of the accommodation was disappointing. You couldn’t book a table for a meal, and therefore couldn’t get a table for a meal without a long wait. Menu was limited as well.

Nice spot

Indoor heated pool was a nice touch and convenient to have restaurant on site.

Breakfast buffet not available and very poor menu options. Things have gone backwards and covid is no excuse
Clare
Absolutely love this place! This is our favourite accommodation in Ohakune. The rooms are spacious, the pool is lovely after a day on the slopes, the restaurant so easy! The ski and board shop for repairs , tuning etc on the premises so handy too. Only negative is - in this time of compulsory mask wearing, the receptionist didn’t wear one at all in the 3 days we were there . She was in close contact with every guest that arrived on her shifts and the distancing at times was less than 1/2 a metre, It made me feel uneasy even though everyone else is sanitising and mask wearing I would’ve thought the front of house should set an example.

Great Huge old Building in super good condition. Has an indoor underground pool that is heated to about 39 degrees and you can order drinks in the pool while soaking after a long day !! classic like being in the 70s , had a blast Pool towels all provided. so much fun.

Family with toddler please beware
Upon checking in the ready room was different than one we requested. We requested for queen and sofa bed but was provided with queen and single. But that’s all fine as the receptionist made it work switching to another room. As a result checking in was taking a bit of time to our liking.
However, the main reason we were willing to paid $300 a night was it’s advertised to have an indoor pool. They do have an indoor pool but what they forgot to mention was children under 5yo are not allowed in the pool. Hence this ruined our holiday as my youngest kid (4yo) was looking forward to the pool.
Also, the room was cold. The staff said the room hasn’t been used for a while and that’s why. The aircon fixed it though. Apart from cold, the room is quite dark. I think they need one or 2 more floor lamps.
Verdict: We would try another accomodation next.

Very Nordic buildings and settings which made it cosy and comfortable.

Every staff member was friendly and very helpful. The indoor pool was a pleasant surprise, along with the poolside drinks we ordered. Hotel located away from main township (but easily walkable), therefore a very quiet sleep. Well stocked in room bar with nibbles. Quick room service for breakfast & dinner. We would definitely return

Excellent hotel with good rooms and service
+ Very nice hotel, rooms and staff
+ Broad selection of breakfast options, including vegetarian
+ EV charger on site

- We were not a fan of the mattress, the top is too soft, it is not bouncy enough

We really enjoyed our stay here. The place has a cool vibe, comfy beds, was quiet, clean, and the bathroom was surprisingly modern and fancy! The food in the bar restaurant was good too.

We enjoyed the friendliness of the staff especially Cindy in the Powderkeg Bar. But another plus was it was right beside the start of the road up the mountain, very quiet and lovely to look at.

Had a great time!
We had a great time at Powderhorn Chateau! The rooms were clean and have remodeled bathrooms that were great. The walls were a bit thin as we heard children running on the 3rd floor. We also had a glitch with the electrical outlets, but they were great about getting us another room quickly. Both restaurants were also great with good service.
Fiona
Comfy, warm and clean and tidy
The Powderhorn Chateau was warm comfy clean and had everything you needed for a nice stay. We would definitely book again to stay here when in Ohakune.

Nice spot on the edge of the Tongariro NP
We arrived a bit early and they were able to accommodate us, which was great. The room was comfortable and well appointed, although the refrigerator was filled with minibar stuff so we had to offload this to put our perishable items in. Not a huge issue but a bit annoying when you're told there's a refrigerator in the room. The front desk staff was knowledgeable about various hiking options that would fit our time requirements but still give us good views. We didn't eat at the hotel but the food smelled amazing!

We weren't given the wifi code at checkin and then some 1 hr ticketed code which was frustrating when had more than 1 hr work to do that night. Creaky wooden building so very noisy.
