Overall Ratings & Reviews Canoe Safaris Lodge

Excellent room - newly renovated and ideal for a ski weekend. Phil was a great host. Will definitely look to book again

Really nice hosts! This is a bit of a hidden gem, the name may suggest more of a summer vibe but this is a great spot for a winter weekend mission to the mountain. They don’t have many rooms which is kinda nice as is keeps things pretty quiet. Heaps of parking space close to the rooms and the spa was great after a day on the mountain. Simple, very clean and well priced with great host! Not much more you could ask for.

Great hosts. Easy to communicate with. The room was very tidy and comfortable. I would definitely recommend staying here and would be happy to stay again.

Had a great weekend on the slopes. We thought it was going to be weird with 3 adults in one room (mostly family but not all), but it was like camping at school, so a novelty with lots of laughs. Location is good - walking distance to rental stores and town. Also round the corner from main road to the mountains. Phil was very accommodating and friendly. We just needed a place to sleep and though there was some minimal noise with next room occupants everyone was good about being quiet once it got to midnight. We ate out mostly as there are some good restaurants in town. I recommend booking if you have a family in case it is a busy weekend. Wait times arent too long though. Bring a hair dryer if you need as I dont recall seeing one there. Rooms clean and heating was on for our late arrival which was much appreciated. I hope the spa can be fixed for the next stay, that would be perfect. Thanks!

The room was safe, tidy and the very accessible. Lots of parking space andvwalking distance to shops.

The rooms were a good size for a bigger group. Had a bit of a hiccup with the booking but Phil had us sorted out easy! Comfortable and clean rooms with ample heating given the cold & rainy weather! One of the rooms had a leak though caused by the terrible rains. But overall it was a great place to stay in and would recommend to others!

Spacious room with a comfortable bed. Phil was extremely helpful and friendly. Would stay again.

Stayed for two nights as we were skiing at Tauroa and Whakapapa. Really convenient location and great advice on travel up the mountain and rentals.

Host Phil and Kirsty were very accommodating and super friendly. The room was extremely clean, warm and comfortable. Thanks guys, see you again for a canoe safari!

Phil is proactive and attentive. The place punches above its weight.

Excellent rooms, friendly staff, great spa, drying rooms. Superb views of ruapehu. Will defintely come back

This property was in a great location close to the centre of town. The facilities were exceptionally clean and tidy and service was great.

Very clean and comfortable accommodation. We stayed in a studio unit with a small kitchen facility that had all the basics. Great spa pool that we enjoyed after a big day on the mountain. Friendly and informative host. Thanks so much. We enjoyed our time in Ohakune.

Nice and tidy. Clean room with good bathroom and kitchenette. Room was cleaned daily with good supplies. Comfortable for 3 people. But the our younger child had to sleep in sofa bed which was very uncomfortable.

Perfect for our weekend skiing trip. Drying room and spa are bonus

Very cosy, excellent location, highly recommended!

Room was really clean and new with basic kitchen facilities for boiling water, cooking etc.Staff was frienldy and helpful. Room was little, definitely not for 5 persons, maximal 3 people and had just 3 chairs and a very little table.

The lodge was very quiet and homely, the staff were really friendly and informative too.

Great friendly place. Tidy and warm and centrally located.
