Summary: This property advertises a heated pool. This is the second year that I have stayed at the Powderhorn and the pool has been cold. This is extremely disappointing and I will not return again. Shame for Ohakune.

Victor T Apr 22, 2025 09:08:07 AM

Summary: One of the my favorite hotels on month-long trip to New Zealand. After hiking 6-hour Tongariro, the expansive hot tub-pool at Powderhorn was just what the doc ordered. Laundry room on the floor a plus -- and hotel dining facilities (for dinner and breakfast) were very good.

David Mar 29, 2025 01:18:42 PM

Summary: Great place and fantastic hot pool

Michael Feb 21, 2025 11:54:54 AM

Doug Feb 16, 2025 07:51:54 AM

Andrew Feb 2, 2025 01:36:22 PM

Summary: Beautiful property and very cozy.

HENRY Jan 25, 2025 11:18:08 AM

Summary: This is a 5 star property at a 3 star price. The staff was amazing, the rooms more than comfortable and the restaurant had great food

Heather Jan 11, 2025 12:36:29 AM

Summary: Probably the best you can get for the area, but the wear and tear on this place is hard and the maintenance is lagging. If your expectations are not set at high end resort levels you will probably not be disappointed.

Sophie Oct 28, 2024 07:26:36 AM

Summary: Beautiful scenic area with convenient access to mountain (skiing and hiking). Hotel was very comfortable.

Susan Sep 29, 2024 08:17:58 AM

Summary: Great place to stay inside pool and restaurants. Found the lighting in the room poor and sofa was very uncomfortable to sit on.
