The property is in a great place to restaurants and is tidy, both times we have stayed here there has been noisy ppl either side and have had limited sleep. Easy sign in and sign out, bed just didn't suit me that's all

We throughly enjoyed out stay, check in was contactless and easy. Home was tidy and moslty clean, found the walls very thin between units and could hear neighboring televisions. Great serene walk through the back of the property

Good location. Well appointed for the price. A bit tired and could do with a deep clean. Good value for the price. No one really running the place. Any time I needed something I would have to speak with one of the cleaners who spoke limited English. Very pleasant and helpful but no one at the front desk at any time and no way to get help without going to look for the cleaning staff.

More weather protection over the unit door would help on wet days. The hot water took a long time to come through. But overall it was okay for a one night stay

Great value and location

I received a text on my way to Ohakune that my room was ready. Just had to park and head to my room, keys were on the bed and dropped keys in the drop box when i checked out the following morning. Bed was comfortable and shower had good water pressure and stayed hot. Walking distance to nearby food and market. I was hiking in the area so definitely a recommended place to stay and will be back next winter.

Liked: Staff & service
Our stay with Snowhaven was for one night. While it was cost-effective, we were placed in a unit on the main road. Unfortunately, we heard every truck that passed by our room throughout the night. Not a great sleep. The upside it was convenient to the local shops and restaurants and cosy.

The extract fan in the bathroom screeched like a Banshee, the hand basin plug wouldn't stay down, the handsoap pump didn't work, most of the surfaces in the unit were sticky, a thick layer of dust on the headboard, there were dirty stains on walls and the carpet hadn't been vacuumed, i won't be staying there again

Great central area, room was tidy and looked nice. Bathroom was in dire need of some upkeep most things were usable but broken like the taps and shower head, soaps were leaking in the shower which led to the drain overflowing with bubbles when taking a shower in the morning! Sink also leaked water all over the floor somehow? The noise from the neighbours using the water next door right next to our heads sounded like a tv playing white noise at 150dcbls! But lucky they didn’t use it long or during the night. Check in and out was super easy and didn’t even see anyone

Disliked: Amenities
I had a comfortable 1 night stay. Place feels old and makes a bit of noise. It had everything a couple needs to be comfortable. The only thing that could be an issue is noise, the pipes and floors make a lot of noise so you can hear your neighbours if they're awake. New pillows would be nice, mine were a little lumpy, but don't let that discourage you from staying, we still had a great time.
