The rooms were spacious, well maintained and extremely clean. They had everything as promised and matched the pictures. As a standard, they provide a small kitchenette in room with cutlery, microwave, mini fridge and a coffee set. The room had a heater, air conditioner, television and also a working jacuzzi. Fresh towels were provided with amenities except a shaving kit. The wardrobe had a hair drier and iron with iron board. The staff were extremely friendly and kept a good eye for anything left behind post check-out. Room has instruction manual for everything, including the air conditioning and all electronic equipment. A small booklet was provided with guide to Whanganui. The property is placed at a perfect location, right next to major supermarkets and fuel stations, the Whanganui town is about 15mins walk from the location. Although there is no restaurant on-site, fast food joints are right next to it within walking distance and so is Whanganui town as mentioned.

Such a great little find, a cute holiday park really close to the Tongariro Alpine Crossing hike. Greg the owner, did everything possible to make sure our stay was comfortable by providing so much information about the area, and particularly the hike and what to expect. He also drove the shuttle bus to the start of the hike which was great and once again explained to the group everything necessary. We felt he really made a huge difference to our visit as we felt someone was there looking after us.

A friendly welcome. Our unit was beautifully prepared and had everything we needed. The teapot was a nice touch and a nice surprise, beds were comfortable and plenty of bedding if needed. The bathroom was impressive. The motel is so central to everything. Near the plaza and the square, eateries nearby (Burger King is across the road, and there is a long-established Thai restaurant and pub the other side of the road) and if you need public transport there's a bus stop close by.

Spent 8 nights at four Okahune motel/apartments in early October. The town centre and the railway station front are the major leisure venues. I have taken a lot of photo/video streams in town and along the road to Turoa ski field. Accommodation and F&B services are above average, and many selections. Many local activities(rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking and most importantly, snow sports) are available, and the tourist info centre is well located, and the staff there are helpful and welcoming. picturesque town with snowy mountain, stream and falls to visit.

We were quite surprised that the town was looking so deserted compared to just couple of years ago when we last visited. Many of the shops on the main street (and just about all the ones on the side streets) were unoccupied and boarded up. Having only stayed one night, we didn't have much time to do more than walk up and down the main street to see the shops, but the town has quite a run down feel to it. The activities run by the Forgotten World Motel were mostly not operating at this time of the year (September). If you plan to do the adventure activities offered by the Motel, then visit from mid-October onwards when they are fully operating.

Unfortunately the unit we stayed in was infested with ants which were in the bathroom, kitchen and bedroom. We awoke to find them in our beds and crawling all over us. Most unpleasant experience. I advised the manager but he didn't really apologise and I believe he was aware of the situation. His response was that he would need to get a pest controller in. I felt he didn't believe us, but we showed the cleaners and they were shockewd.

The empty Chateau is a shame but we hope that will be sorted soon. The neglected buildings in the village on both sides of Bruce Road is not a good look. Hopefully they will be restored and have tenants soon. We understand Covid and the uncertainly around the sale of the ski field had a big influence but we hope that it would be fixed soon

My baby and I stayed for 2 nights and enjoyed everything about Waiouru. We were at the Oasis motel which is across the road from the Z gas station and next to a Diner,bakery, bar & bottle store which breaks off from the motel but still far away from the rooms. A bit secluded but love how everything’s so close and the nice cold weather.
