Ruapehu Views Motel  

In central Ohakune, a compact city-center motel tucked just off the main road for calm yet only a short walk from the town’s restaurants and pubs. Select rooms deliver direct views of Mount Ruapehu, putting the mountains front and center.

Refurbished to a high standard in 2010, the property has 14 rooms, with the top eight offering those mountain vistas. Rooms keep things simple and comfy — shower, TV and a mini-bar — and some let you sip morning coffee while watching the town wake up.

On-site sauna, laundry services and convenient parking in a designated zone. Winter-sports fans get easy access to nearby skiing areas, and select rooms let you wake up to Ruapehu mornings.

Free Wi‑Fi is available across the property, and an elevator provides step-free access to upper floors.

No on-site restaurant listed, but a cluster of local eateries and pubs is within a short stroll. Perfect if you want to taste regional flavors after a day on the slopes.
