Would be nice to have microwave
Otherwise solid property for the budget
This motel was nice and quiet. I was there in the ‘off’ season for skiing but it was great for getting some spring time hikes in. Great location for hiking to Waitonga Falls and also being able to walk to the town of Ohakune. Staff were friendly and helpful.
I town with a group of relatives for a burial. We all stayed with The Hobit and were treated with the greatest of respect and top service. Thank you for great accommodation again. Look forward to our next stay.
Very nice little motor lodge. Very welcoming staff and very clean. Linen and furniture is a little tired, but aside from that it's a very good spot to spend the night between Wellington and Auckland
This was an average 3 star motel in a good location. The price was right! The bed was one of the worst I've slept on but the room was clean. You can hear your next door neighbours.
Clean and well maintained and very convenient to Ohakune and Mt Ruapehu.

The bunk beds were so creaky I thought I was going to squash my friend sleeping on the bottom and the room smelt a bit weird, but other than that the bathrooms were all very clean and the reception lady was very nice
the staff not only gave us the keys, but also walked us to the unit to show us exactly where it was. The room was spacious for the four of us (parents plus 2 teenagers)
