Hey,

Does any one no of any reasonable pads to stay at?
Will just be weekends through out winter, the cheaper side would be cool but not a shit hole =)

I slept in the playgrond once. It was dope. Woke up to a million dollar view of the mountain and a pie. Mean. Think the bar staff gave us a free beer or two for it as well haha. Playground it is

Hmmm maybe i wee bit cold for me =)

Its so hard booking all your weekends in advance trying to organise so many people is like trying herd cats!!!

I second the playground. The Snake Run fits with contours of my body. Snug...

If you are hitting Whakapapa as well you could give slalom lodge in Rarimu a go. Matt who runs the place is choice and its cheap! about $24 for a night and all facilities that boarders need

whakapapa go to national park backpackers. $14 a night. Mellow as too. Ohakune, get a box of beer a sleeping bag and the playground rules haha

Slalom Lodge is the goods! Raurimu is a nice place too. You know, your average shotgun toting town.

We owned the farm just off the top of the hill and the whole road washed away and smashed a house taking out some poor dude at the same time. Debris still remains now... :(

The Hobbit Motor Lodge perhaps? $40 Bunk beds I think.
Or maybe the PowderHorn Chateau...

If in Kune Rimu Park Lodge is close to bars, cheap and if you like poker you'd prob get a game there sometime....rimupark.co.nz and its got the dopest hot tub

Check out the Top 10 Holiday park in Kune, run by a friendly German couple (just don't get on their bad side haha) it's cheap as chips and they have the pimpest powderkeg-style bathroom and showers you've ever seen for that kinda money.

The first weekends will be busy as.....try to get out on the weekdays...easier for accommodation and way less ski midgets cutting up yer' runs........ . I stayed at http://www.rimupark.co.nz/ place was cheap and they have an outdoor spa........... decent chap called Cameron that runs that place.

Depends if you wana stay in town and get on the bottle? If not theres a sweet place at the start of waioru that is cheap as and real deace and you dont have to book 2 nights min like you do in ohakune

Hey "oneday" whats the nae of this place? Cheers

I had a problem finding a place to stay a few weeks ago (all left to the last minute of course). We ended up staying in Taumaranui for the first night becouse of it.

I had trouble finding a good site which listed all the accommodation places easily so I could just call them one by one. So just recently I made up a guide for me and my friends to use for the next time we are stuck for a place to crash by the mountain.

www.ohakuneaccommodationguide.co.nz is what we came up with. It might help you out next time you are looking for a place to stay.

Hi,
just wondering if anyone wants to work out some accommodation in Ohakune this season? I got a job on Turoa starting around the 29th June so will prob head to Ohakune on the 20th for a few days of boarding before I start.
Let me know if anyone wants to rent a house or has a spare room.
Cheers
Steph
