"Very quiet at the back. Some of our group were booked roadside and it was very noisy"

"We held our family gathering (6 youths and 6 adults) here last December, and it was the best budget-friendly accommodation I could find in the area. Overall, our stay was wonderful and enjoyable. We had a comfortable, peaceful, and relaxing time.In my opinion, some of the previous reviews are not doing it justice. I saw several complaints about cleanliness, but when we visited, it was adequate for a property like this. The furniture, exterior, and interior are not modern or vibrant, but for the price, everything was more than sufficient and met all our needs.The house is small, yet it had everything we needed: 3 bedrooms, plenty of beds, 2 bathrooms, hot water, electric cooking plates and oven, TV, electric heaters, and a conventional fireplace. The kitchen had all essential utilities, and also some spices, as well as sugar and tea.A basketball court, fuel station, and small grocery shop are conveniently nearby. Ohakune, a charming small town with various attractions and indoor/outdoor activities, is just 10 minutes away.Here are a few tips for future visitors:Oven Use: Make sure to set the clock first to get the oven working.Instruction Leaflet: Check out the instructions leaflet on the notice board. It contains useful information, such as how to find wood for the fireplace."

"Great stay, friendly place, well presented villa"

"We have now stayed at the Hobbit several times and each time has been great. It's not 5-star but it doesn't pretend to be - it's just a good solid Kiwi motel! It's got a nice quiet location, is always very clean and tidy, and is great value for money. The Hobbit will always be our first choice whenever we're in the area."

"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 "

"Beautiful trail across the street. On the road up to trails and mountain. Very clean, hosts definitely care. Huge jet tub in the room! "

"Lovely motel, looks older from the outside but has been refurbished inside and is a very comfortable space. Comfortable bed and good shower. Great kitchen with everything you would need."

"The bed was premium and huge, and the reception staff lovely. "

"We had the most wonderful family Christmas at Lena's house. We were so comfortable and communication with host was excellent. House could be improved by having topper pads on top of queen size beds as they are rather hard and better/more lighting in the dining and lounge areas."
