The Peaks Motor Inn

What guests think

The Peaks Motor Inn draws praise for quiet rooms and welcoming staff, with a peaceful location near town, trails, and the mountain; rooms are generally spacious but older in style, with some soft beds and basic finishes.

Cleanliness is consistently strong, though a few mention maintenance issues like a ceiling leak, aging fixtures, or an unclean jetted tub. Facilities include an outdoor spa pool, on-site parking by the units, and a guest laundry; some guests enjoyed soaking under the stars, while others found the spa not hot enough or the jets not working. Overall, expect a straightforward, no-frills base for exploring the area.

We stayed just for one night as a last minute change to our travel plans. Booked in the morning and checked in later that day. Excellent in all respects. Fast efficient checkin, parking outside door, and room with good facilities. We made use of the guest laundry (which was in heavy demand). There was a spa bath in the room which we didn't get a chance to check out (it was very inviting). WiFi worked fine. Very handy to the shops in Ohakune. We would like to come back and stay here again sometime.

Great place to stop for your mountain adventure. A 3minute drive to everything in the city, parking easy in front of the room. Easy check-in and check-out. Room was cleaned after the first night, beds done and kitchen tidied up. Very clean and had everything we needed. Gave us tips regarding where to have breakfast. Looking forward to stay again next time we're in the area.Thank you!

We had a good night’s rest in this facility. We also enjoyed using the heated outdoor spa, even though we could not get the jets to work. The bathtub looked a bit well used but the shower was great. For the money paid and the ease of access by car, this property worked well.

Bequeme Betten, Badewanne und sogar einem Backofen gibt es. Parkplatz direkt vor der eigenen Haustür - sehr praktisch. Die Wände sind leider dünn und der kleine Heizstrahler bringt bei dem großen Raum nicht viel (der Heizlüfter ist nachts zu laut), daher war es etwas kühl. Für 2 Nächte aber völlig okay.
