Things are looking up in the hotel business world according to Ohakune Hotel's new owner Rick Lowe, pictured at left with previous owner, (until last Sunday) Bruce Leggatt. Rick says while hotels have not been changing hands much over the last few years they have started to become in demand again. He and his wife Vicki have swapped places with Bruce and Mary Leggatt in the hospitality business, with the Leggatts taking on the Lowes' ex business, the Waikato Motor Inn at Putaruru. The Leggatts plan to run the motel "for a while" then either hand it over to their daughter or sell it. After that they plan to move to their 12 acre farmlet near Whangarei and buy a "five day a week" business.
