We loved our stay in the very comfortable cottage style house. The fireplace kept us very warm and it was an easy distance from the ski resort. The electric blankets on the bed were such a spoil!

Perfect place to stay especially after a very long road trip.

What a lovely property you have Ankita, and thank you so much for sharing it with us. We had a long trip and to arrive to a super cosy well presented home that was perfect for our beloved dog was just a tonic and we could recharge our batteries. Highly recommended and thank you again.

Relaxing with a great view

Spacious, AMAZING shower, comfy beds, nice and homely feel all around. Hob was a little small, but otherwise great kitchen. Great location, good pubfood at walking distance, close to shops, great walking spots and of course a stunning view of Mt Ruapehu. What's not to love?!

Fantastic spot for our wee mountain holiday.

Lovely place, perfect size for our group of 3 and could have easily accommodated another family with us. Fireplace, gas water and heat pump were all added bonuses. We'll equipped house with all the kitchen basics covered too. Linen supplied was a bonus just wish I'd realized that before we brought all our own in the car with us :) Added bonus being able to being the dog. Overall a great spot and hope to come back again some time. Nice close walk to town and a couple of kids playgrounds, as well as a lovely nature trail that was magic in the snow. Thank you for letting us stay in your house, we had a fabulous time and even got snow fall!!

I've stayed in heaps of places in Ohakune. Most are fine for crashing in after a day of skiing. This place is a cut above however. I'd really recommend it.
