Heavy snow has blanketed parts of the central North Island this morning, offering stunning - albeit frosty - views of a winter wonderland.
Kings Ohakune - Bar, Restaurant & Accommodation posted a series of beautiful snowy photos early today.
The views show roads, buildings and vehicles covered in white and trees sporting a dusting of snow - in scenes reminiscent of traditional Christmas movies.
