There are places one stays when travelling that you almost don’t want to write a review for because you’ll give away the secret of how great the place is. In this case, that place is the Two Rivers Bed & Breakfast in Ohakune. (www.TwoRiversOhakune)
We initially spent three nights at Ula and Scott’s accommodation, and roughly a week later another night in one of their other (of three) cottages.
The rooms were incredibly bright, cosy, clean, well designed, and nicely equipped, with, for example, our luggage fitting under the beds as is done on a cruise ship. The location is stunningly beautiful beside two converging rivers.
We were extremely pleased with the breakfast available in our room both in terms of its quality and quantity. Additionally, because we had early morning activities on some of the days, and late morning sleep-ins on others, we could have breakfast at the time and pace that best suited us.
Ula and Scott are amazing hosts, checking that everything was all right, providing suggestions when we wanted (places to eat and visit), and general information about the area. They are passionate about Ohakune and the central part of the North Island, and this easily transfers to you as their guests.
In summary Two Rivers has been one of the highlights of our month long adventure in New Zealand. We are already making plans to return again in the future.
