Good big bedrooms and bunk room .. very spacious upstairs and wonderful views of the mountain .. great location to access the town and mountain .. it had everything you could want.. the communications with the host was excellent.
A great house for.a family stay in Ohakune. All.the facilities you want in a comfortable warm home plus great mountain views and easy access to town, supermarket and to the mountain and forests. Thoroughly enjoyed this with my family. Highly recommended.
House was amazing. Beautiful views of ruapehu from the lounge. Excellent location to town.. communication with host was clear easy and prompt. Would book again.
Great place to stay for a family or bigger group. Loved the property and its in an amazing location. Great entertainment for the kids.
Looking forward to our next stay there.
Cosy warm family home. Had everything we needed and more. Plenty to entertain the kids on a rainy afternoon..table tennis, toys, PlayStation and a stack of DVDs. Head up the road by car to explore the mountain or a short walk in to Ohakune town. We loved our stay!
The house was wonderful for our two families which included 4 kids. It had everything that we needed. The view was amazing and the house was very comfy.The pillows could be improved, but other than that, no complaints. You can request linens, at an extra cost, if you're travelling from overseas like we were
This has been our second time back and the place has been upgraded by the owner. It's super warm and cozy after a long day on the slopes you can relax in front of the fire. Perfect for a family or a group of friends looking for a few days away. Great location and we can't wait to be back soon.
It was a comfortable, sunny and warm. We didn’t need the fire but there was plenty of wood for colder times. Spacious kitchen and the recent refurbishment has been tastefully done.
House was exactly as pictured was in excellent condition throughout the kids loved the toys dvds trampoline and table tennis table excellent location walking distance to the town easy drive to Turoa

Great Communication thank you lots of room and space bit of a tight driveway found washed washing in machine but had smell rewashed n hung out,
We stayed at the property for one night. Beautiful house with a nice deck and view. Wish we had stayed for more than one night. The set up of the living space, the photographs and artworks have added extra dimension to the property. Huge front yard with a trampoline for kids. TT at the garage, nice insulation and heating. We will stay there again and highly recommended.
Overall a very easy, great stay. House was clean and comfortable. Everything you need to cook for everyone. Lots of room, aswell as a wide range of movies, games and entertainment. Highly recommend!
