Why Boutique?
Clearly people choose accommodation for different reasons. If travelling as a group then you may choose a ski-lodge, where the communal areas allow real social interactions. You may want, the convenience of a bar/restaurant just downstairs. Or may be you just want a low-cost bed, somewhere to sleep between those amazing mountain adventures.
All of this exists, but then there are several boutique offerings in Ohakune that offer something just a little more special. The boutique B&B's are a quiet alternative and a more refined stay, Two Rivers Ohakune is one of those options and many believe that it offers something different.

Comfort and design - High-quality furnishings, thoughtful design, and attention to detail elevate the experience.
Space to unwind - Private decks, a river beach, gardens, and hot tubs all play a part in helping you to slow down and enjoy your surroundings. Reconnection with nature is our hope for your stay.
A Different Kind of Stay in Ohakune
For a quiet, premium experience, smaller boutique properties are often located just outside the busy accommodation areas. Being on the edge of town (or even just outside) opens up the views and space, that luxury seeking guests desire.
Often the quality of service is very similar across the boutique offerings. You may want to ask questions like do I have private access to my room? For Two Rivers that is a yes. You do not enter the owners space, giving that autonomy and privacy that luxury seeking guests need. Can I easily walk to town? That's another yes for Two Rivers, just opposite our entrance is a beautiful riverside walk along the banks of the Mangateitei.
These boutique properties are often chosen by travellers who value:
Privacy over social environments
Quality over price
A more memorable, considered stay
If you're comparing options, viewing individual suites like the Rua Awa Suite or the Mangawhero Suite can give a clearer sense of what a premium stay offers.
