Very good hotel, easily the best in Ohakune. Very friendly service across the board, from the reception, to room servicing team to the restaurant staff. Room was nice except for the trains rumbling by during the night (3 or 4?). Tracks are just outside hotel. Location is a bit too far for Tongariro Crossing. Better to stay in Whakapapa. More

We spent our first night in Ohakune at the Powderhorn. The swimming pool is really a large hot tub and you have to be careful not to get water in your eyes because there is so much chlorine that one's eyes burn. The room was large and clean. You had to purchase the a card to use the Internet and... More

I took a few friends visiting from the UK down to Mount Ruapehu for a snowboarding trip and as ever we were not disappointed. Simple the best place to stay in Ohakune. More

Very comfortable room with spa bath, not that we needed to use it as the hotel's main pool was delightful, especially with a beer in hand which the bar staff brought through for us. The Powderkeg bar (part of the hotel) was good... More

We arrived in Ohakune, New Zealand for 2 nights hoping to do some snowboarding or skiing but unfortunately the weather took a bad turn so we had to spend most of our time in this wonderful hotel. We were looked after at reception by a lovely limerick lass named Louise who could not do enough for us. She saw our... More

I had a wonderful stay at the Powderhorn. It is a beautiful building with a wonderful atmosphere, great food in the Powderkeg and the staff were very helpful. Upon arrival I commented that I had read of the hotel in the Lord of the Rings location guide book and the receptionist informed me that a LOTR tour group were coming... More
