The Peaks Motor Inn  

On Ohakune’s main road to Turoa, halfway between town and the Junction — a true ski motel base for Mt Ruapehu. Steps from Ohakune Disc Golf and a short drive to Mountain Bike Station, Tongariro National Park and the Ohakune i-SITE Visitor Centre.

Tuscan-style motor inn with 23 studio and one-bedroom units that feature kitchenettes (fridge, oven, microwave), 32-inch flat-screen TVs, coffee/tea makers and irons. Expect simple, practical rooms, terrace and garden views, daily housekeeping, plus easy access to summer trails and winter slopes.

Soak in two outdoor spa pools and a sauna, hit the gym, or drop laundry in the guest facilities and use the drying room after a day on the mountain. There’s a picnic area, terrace, on-site convenience store and a shuttle service (surcharge) for short hops around town. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected.

Business center plus a conference space and meeting room totalling about 969 sq ft (90 m²), express check-in/out, free self parking and a complimentary train station pick-up service — with Wi‑Fi for the essentials.

Grab a casual meal at the on-site restaurant or pick up essentials from the grocery/convenience store. Continental breakfast is available for a fee to get you back on the slopes fast.
