Ohakune has been a beautiful town in itself. Shannon cottage is one of the best place you can stay at when in ohakune. We were four of us. It was our first trip together in ohakune and the stay at Shannon cottage made it way more memorable. The cottage had a private park with classic entrance. Bev has been a wonderful host. We had a warm welcome. The heaters were already kept on before our arrival. The place was crystal clean. It had two bedrooms. One with a queen size bed with breathtaking view and another had two single beds. They have also arranged for extra bedding if needed. The cottage had a folder with all the local tips you need. The places to explore in the town. The restaurants as well. We surely had great time. We strongly recommend this place.
