Okahune is a small town located in the central south-west of the North Island, at the southern border of the Tongariro National Park, and 14 miles (23km) from the south-western slopes of Mount Ruapehu, one of the world's most active volcanos.

With a population of less than 1500, the towns' population grows vastly during the ski season, and the town is know as the 'apres ski capital of the North Island'.  The town holds a Mountain Mardi Gras each year, which celebrates winter and the start of the ski season with a street party with musicians, stalls and rides, and is reputed to be one of the premier ski parties to attend each year.  They also hold an annual Carrot Carnival, to celebrate the fact that Ohakune and the surrounding agricultural land supplies most of New Zealand's carrots!

The mountains are the base for most of the activites in and around Ohakune, both in winter for skiing, snowboarding and snowsports, and in summer for walking and hiking, mountain biking and numerous outdoor activities.

Accommodation is varied and abundant, due to the town's year-round appeal and constant flow of tourists into the area, and offers a choice of accommodation from bed and breakfast, backpackers, lodges and motels to luxury accommodation if you want to spalsh out.
