Kings Ohakune Reviews

This is so unpretentious and well priced. Far better than the keg. Family friendly … though the $15 for darts seems sharp ( no pun intended) but maybfr reflects the risk! Staff friendly, good drink choices and burgers are the best in Ohakune as too the chips. Great in Summer and Winter

I came by for dinner at the pub to meet up with a friend. The dining area is fairly large and they do have outdoor seating but it wasn't really in use for dinner. We were able to get a table without having to book. It was quite warm in there though. The menu is interesting, which ranges from standard pub fare like burgers and bangers and mash to something a bit different, like the lamb shank ragu. I had the Korean spiced beef brisket and it was delicious. It had a nice heat to it and the kimchi and cauliflower rice added their own flavours and textures. The dipping sauce was salty and spicy. I grabbed a dessert instead of drinks. the chocolate cheesecake was nice and rich and it came with ice cream and cream. It was a nice place for a tasty meal. It is also a nice place fo drinks if that was all your after.

Forgot to review this restaurant earlier … been here so often just thought I’d be flogging a dead horse on perfect atmosphere, unpretentious staff and wholesome food. Our daughter can’t get past the ribs (so much better than Powderkeg) and the burgers get me every time. Fries always crisp. Staff always friendly … and often a tap beer special … Great restaurant, great people … awesome.

Had a fantastic stay at the Kings. Rooms were clean, cosy and smelt great. We had dinner on-site - definitely recommend the Chicken Burger - huge, great value and tasted amazing. Would happily stay again.

Had another fantastic stay at Kings for the weekend. Lots of good food, drink at the bar and very comfortable lodgings. Thanks to Stu and the crew there for making us feel very welcome. They’re always happy to put the sports on the big screen and they opened up for the RWC! :) Great all round stay. Thank you.

Our stay was fine in all respects until the second of two nights, If you’re staying check what they have planned for the bar. Turns out that if theres a DJ playing, and pounding the place until 2 am then the paying guests staying take second best. Sleep for them is not something to be bothered with. Two phone calls to the bar achieved very little. The management need to decide what they’re running- accommodation of a night club. The two don’t mix. Aside from that, value for money and comfortable.

Great spot. Beautiful views of the mountain. Management and team are super friendly and helpful. Great food and beer. Was really cool to have a beer and some food on the deck viewing the mountain with people playing card games and kids running around enjoying themselves. Great vibe!

This hotel was better than expected! The warmth and welcoming from the owner and staff were incredible, they turned a cold camping night into the best hotel night. The room was so clean you could smell it! It was warm and cosy and that beats a cold camoing night up the mountain. The staff went the extra mile to make us feel accommodated, we cant wait to stay here again

We were reallocated to this hotel by our travel agent when our original accommodation was closed just before we were due to travel. We have stayed in some good hotels during our trip around NZ but this isn’t one of them. Check in was swift and friendly but the outside lodge allocated to us left a lot to be desired. It was small and dark with nowhere to store clothes. There were two bunk beds in the corner half blocking the front door. This was supposed to be a disabled access room - no way would a wheelchair get through the door. Four people in a room this size would be cramped for space. However, the room was clean and the bed, surprisingly, was very comfortable. The shower was also very good. The restaurant was closed due to staff shortages and no breakfast was available other than a pre ordered breakfast bagel. There is however a friendly pub within walking distance serving good food. The whole place seems to be struggling and could do with a good dose of TLC.

The Hotel itself is pretty bland and doesn't look like much from the outside. The Room was small and cozy but was comfortable and reasonable pricing. It was really good we were able to bring our Dog. The location was really good, lovely view, service was great
