Find the Cheap Raetihi Hotels

Coming from Danmark, entering this peaceful place at Marie and Bernie was a really good experience. So nice to hear” Hej, jeg hedder Marie og er dansk”( hello, I am Marie, from Denmark)! In quitely surroundings, the most friendly hostes, clean and luxury rooms. You felt welcome at once. A little terrace at each room and a beutifull garden, straight up to golf course. The breakfast are served in their own dining room, where Marie and Bernie cook for you. All placed just near by a lot of sport activities. Little village Okahune in 5 km with good dining posibilities. We warmly recommend this place. Vagn og Lisbeth

My husband and I stayed on a two night package which included a private room with ensuite, cooked breakfasts, Old Coach Road Trail transfers to Horopito and use of the spa pools. Due to urgent surgery and an eight week recovery recovery, we had to postpone our break away for two months and Steve was understanding and helpful when I contacted him and was happy to extend the deal until my husband had recovered. Our room was cosy, clean and comfortable and there was a clear view of Mount Ruapehu from the deck - we sat and watched the sunset and the colours reflected on the snowy mountain - it was magic. The breakfasts were made while we waited and delivered to our table hot and fresh. The staff were helpful and happy to go the extra mile. The lock up storage facility for our bikes was an added bonus and everything was in walking or biking distance so we didn't need to use the car. All in all this is a great place to stay with friendly and helpful staff.

We stayed for 1 night and it was fine for a 1 night stay where you aren’t spending a lot of time there. We had a double bed and a single and there wasn’t room for much else. Bathroom had a small corner shower, little vanity and toilet with barely enough room for a person to dry themselves. Paper thin walls meant you could hear your neighbours. In saying that, it was clean and a great location in town with everything in walking distance. In my opinion it was overpriced, but it was on par to other motels in Ohakune. If going back, I’d probably try out another motel but in all honesty they all seem to be similar.

The Rocky Mountain Chalets are a wonderful collection of small cottages, of differing sizes, nestled on the outskirts of Ohakune, NZ. The cottage in which I stayed was well provisioned, with all necessary kitchen items, linen, towels, and even powder for the efficiency washer. The location is convenient to several natural attractions and a short drive to the restaurants and shops in Ohakune. What made my stay exceptional was the warmth and attention given by the managers. The husband and wife team went well out of their way to ensure my stay was perfect and I thoroughly enjoyed all of our chats. I strongly recommend this establishment if you’re staying in this part of the North Island.

Handy to town restaurants and the mountain. An old style motel but it is Clean and tidy with what looked like recent paint and decorating within the unit. Good easy parking. Nice amount of tea and coffee. Shower had poor water pressure and should be better given the amount of money you pay to stay there. Would not recommend a mountain view room as the extra cost is not worth it . No fault of the motel but Mother Nature meant we did not see the mountain for the two days we were there. Ground floor units are the same as the second story but at a much cheaper price. No shower gel for the two days we were there. Desperately needs a heater and extraction fan in the bathroom. Staying in a ski town where temperatures can dip below zero made the bathroom freezing cold and unpleasant when getting changed. A heat pump would also be great instead of a stand alone heater in the main room. Only saw the staff on checking and it is encouraged to just leave the key in the Dropbox on departure. Third step from the bottom of the north end staircase is broken and the only thing stopping you from falling through is the rubber mat screwed to the step. We did not want to ring the bell to let them know as the young mum has at young child which meant having to come down stairs holding the toddler and we just felt bad about that. Please also check the step closer to the top. Sorry but won’t stay again and will look for something that has extras like heat pump, decent shower and a bit more modern. Lady on check in is pleasant and friendly and change our room without fuss when our shower was found to be broken and did not work.

Pre booked this (partly on the basis they had a sauna) while we were in NZ for the FIFA World Cup. On arrival we were told no sauna as somebody put water on the rocks and wrecked it. Really? Room was freezing as no double glazing on windows and heater mounted on ceiling so has to run at full power to heat the room. On a plus side the room is clean and bed comfortable and the beds have electric blankets so you won’t get hypothermia through the night. Also the motel is located in between the two distinct restaurant and pub districts in town so it’s an easy walk between the two areas.
