We had a double room. Clean and tidy, not huge. Brief walk to "central" Ohakune with cafes shops etc. Worked out very well.

Exactly what we were looking for to sort out a last minute ski trip.
Communication with Dennis was excellent, key was available for a late check in and the lights and heaters were on for a nice welcome.
