Great location , excellent kitchen, two showers and toilets , very warm , older style house but had everything we needed , plenty of space … will
Stay again
Was very cozy and homely, but were disappointed there was no wifi as sister needed it for tracking her diabtes. Also, the bbq was unclean. The beds were very comfortable.
The house was warm and cosy once the fire was going. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was clean and tidy. We liked the space but very disappointed with the cleanliness of the hall and rooms. Some of the walls had visible holes and there were noticeable dents in other areas, which took away a bit from the overall feel of the place. Certain places needed to be wiped down as the dust was clearly visible on bedside tables and heaters. The toys had quite a bit of dust and there were some roaches in the hall which wasnt pleasant! Unfortunately, the hand soap wasn’t refilled and ran out and for a group of 14 people, only four toilet rolls were provided, which certainly wasn’t enough across 2 nights. Disappointing as a 80 fee is charged for cleaning.
We had a group of 12 people doing an Alpine Skills course. It was ideal for our group with a good sized living area and it was warm & comfortable with the fire going.

Great location, easy place to stay
We enjoyed our stay here, close to town, the Carrot Park, pool Supermarket and heaps of great beds. Nice to have separate space to be in after the kids went to bed. Thanks very much Owen and Jeanette
It was an amazing couple of nights. We will never forget that time. Definitely will come and visit the place again in future.
Recommendable to others.

Good place for a group stay
We have enjoyed our stay there as a group, lots of beds. Missed my morning coffee as it was not provided.
We were charged extra for cleaning even after leaving the property in a reasonable condition.
What an awesome little GEM at the perfect location... Everything we needed and more was provided. Felt lik your home away from home. Big enough foulr our group of friends and family and stil ample room foe kiddies to have fun. Board games and entertainment for kiddies provided... This was the first weekend in ages where phones wasnt our priority. Thanks this was exactly what we needed and ao much more... From the booking prosess to the checkout point was easy as pie.. We will definitely book again. Enjoyed every bit of our stay👏
White Peak Lodge is the perfect place for large groups & families. It had all the amenities we needed. The fireplace made it cosy & warm. Plenty of living space for our family to relax after a day up at Whakapapa. The kitchen provided everything we needed to feed everyone! Highly recommended
We enjoyed our 3 night long weekend stay at Ohakune. The weather was miserable all weekend. But the weather cleared this morning, revealing stunning views of Ruapehu. We managed to have fun in the snow, what little there was of it. And we went hiking, and rock climbing was just a five minute walk from the house. Cafes, info centre, playground/park, supermarket were just 5 minutes walk from the house. Though ten persons were in our party, we never had to wait for toilet or shower or sink, due to the configuration of facilities.
Location is walkable to town, plenty of off street parking for our motorbikes, firewood was welcomed, everything we needed.
Would stay here again - thanks!
Absolutely loved our stay here! Very surprised at the cleanliness of the house. The showers were great, amazing pressure and very clean. Very impressed with the modern appliances in the kitchen (loved the toaster!) Great appliances and the kitchen was well equipped. Beds were comfy enough. The house was cold to start with but the fire warmed it up well! Overall great stay, would definitely be back!
Great space for families or large groups. Well thought out with double toilet and showers.
Easy check in and check out. With everything there that you would need for a great stay.
Also close to town and the amazing local park.
We stayed here with a large group of adults/kids the location is excellent a couple of minutes walk to Ohakune centre. The property is older style but the layout is suitable for large groups with seperate showers/toilets/wash basins. The kitchen was nice and looked newly updated. There was not internet at the property but we just used our own data on our phones.
We love the great outdoors whether it's skiing in the winter or biking the numerous tracks around the central plateau. We cherish our family get togethers in Ohakune - because we are all on holiday together.
