Really good place for us to stay especially with an accessible bathroom for me, and having our dogs staying as well.Quiet, but still close enough to town to pick up anymore supplies.
Wayne was helpful and friendly, very prompt to respond to anything we needed. Excellent location, clean inside and outside, connectivity to different attractions, indoor and outdoor fireplace.. it was just perfect for us..!!Would definitely stay there again..!!
This was such a great place to stay in Ohakune! So close to town, but tucked away enough to feel like a great escape. Great facilities and heaps of space for a large family to stay.We ate in the outdoor area every night which was very comfortable with the outdoor fire.Would highly recommend!
Great Location if you like the rural scene but only a few minutes drive from the town centre. Got everything you need and the host Wayne was very helpful. I’d stay here again.
The Lodge was really warm & cozy and in a quiet environment, perfect for when you just need a break away. Best part is that we could take our dog with to enjoy our break with us.
Wayne was very polite and welcoming, will definitely add this to my list of places to re-visit.
Great stay at the Dreadnought Mill while attending Mardi Gras. Perfect location to walk to the event and the house was really warm and homey. Wayne was a great host and was welcoming upon arrival. Cheers
From the moment we walked in the fire was roaring and felt so cosy and warm, plenty of room for all of us (9 of us, with children ranging from 17-3) with lots of extra blankets and everything we needed. Will definitely book again.
Cosy relaxing lodge, the roaring fire is just what we need to unwind from a day up the mountain and plenty of room to play cards or board games. The outdoor area is just superb with open fire, pizza oven and bbq. Plenty of room for our large family from adults, teenagers to young children. Will be back again next year.
Was really impressed, lovely and warm when we got there, very easy all round. Loved the character and rural location. Manager was very accomodating and great to deal with. Well equipped and warm
Great property, very well setup for our large group to hang out together for the long weekend. Lodge was nice and warm when we arrived. Well stocked with kitchen essentials and more. Large lounge and awesome outside dining, hangout area with fire.

Wayne was very welcoming and the lodge is unique with its impressive timber features. Although a little tired and unkempt it's a great place to stay for a group. One lovely bathroom and one very tired bathroom.
We stayed 2 nights in August. Excellent communication with owner. Great large living area with cost wood fire that was going when we arrived.
Impressed with owner collecting our recycling rubbish, too. Well equipped kitchen. Electric blankets in all beds.
Loud trains at night x2-4 but only lasted a few seconds.
Definitely would recommend this place.
We had the most wonderful stay at the Character Log Lodge with Great Mountain Views. This place truly is a hidden gem! From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the charm and rustic beauty of the lodge. The warm, log cabin design made us feel right at home, and the views of the mountains were absolutely breathtaking.
The setting is peaceful and secluded, offering the perfect escape from city life. The lodge itself was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. Whether we were enjoying a cup of coffee on the deck or curling up by the fireplace, the ambiance was always perfect. The hosts were friendly, attentive, and quick to offer local tips.
We can't recommend this place enough if you're looking for a relaxing mountain getaway. We will definitely be back!
