Jo is a star - super friendly and full of information about the local area. The accommodation is spacious and warm and really close to town. Perfect for our week long stay. There's a new "TV dinners" shop in town which worked perfectly with the limited kitchen facilities, meaning nights we didn't want to go out we could have a nice easy but tasty food at home, but Ohakune has so many eateries that eating out is always easy too.
The accommodation is attached to the main house but has complete privacy and the radiators in every room and decent wifi were really appreciated - so many places we've stayed leave you to pee and shower in the cold, but not here!
