About this property
Mountain House located in central Ohakune
Welcome to our Mountain House, located in the centre of Ohakune, within walking distance to the junction and town. This newly renovated home is warm and dry making it a great base for extended family groups of up to 8, to enjoy a mountain escape! It’s a true home away from home. It is warm and cosy, with plenty of space with awesome views of Mount Ruapehu. It is situated halfway between the junction and town.
Set over two levels, Mountain House sleeps up to 8; featuring an open plan lounge dining area and kitchen on the first floor with a log burner to keep you snug during those frosty winter stays. On the ground floor there are 2 double rooms with queen beds in each, a bunk room and a bathroom with shower toilet and vanity and the Laundry. The house has two bathrooms, one an ensuite with two showers & two toilets and separate Laundry. Log fire and heat pumps warm the house brilliantly and the double glazed windows make sure it stays warm. North facing deck with great views of the mountain.
Awesome for a groups or family’s. Ohakune is an excellent all year destination - walking, mountain bike, fish, ski, golf, kayak or just sit and chill in the great New Zealand outdoors, but with all the comforts of home. Biking – then there plenty of space to lock up your gear in the shed. This is a great biking base with easy access to the Old Coach Road and the heap of other surrounding tracks. Mountain House is the perfect base for cycling, tramping and fishing during the summer with loads of other attractions including White Water Rafting, Tongariro Crossing, 42 Traverse or the Bridge to Nowhere.
We offer a very well equipped kitchen - so congregate with your friends while you cook up a storm. Electric stove, microwave and full fridge freezer and coffee machine, so bring those coffee beans.
Entertainment: Lounge has stereo, TV and huge selection of DVD’s and games. Heated by a log fire in the lounge, also a heat pump in the lounge and in the master bedroom, with additional heaters in each of the down stairs bedrooms. If table tennis is your thing then head down to the attached garage for a game! You might even want to take the sledges up the mountain for a a bit fun, please be carefull with them!
Dining table seats six and is perfect for evening get togethers or to play cards one of the board games board games. In summer enjoy the deck soaking up the sun, lounging in the hammock, or just chill out with the BBQ on the deck, and enjoy the ambience of the evening sunset, while looking over the mountain.
We have a huge front yard for the kids to play and a selection of balls in the garage.
1st bedroom has 1 x Queen bed with ensuite bathroom.
2nd bedroom has 2 x Single bunks (sleeping four).
3rd bedroom has 1 x Queen bed.
Please note all bedrooms are down stairs, while the log burner is upstairs. All bedrooms have a heater but it does mean the bedrooms can be cooler downstairs on the cooler winter nights.
Linen: All beds have duvets and pillows. You will need to bring your own personal linen (sheets, pillow-cases, towels etc) however can be supplied if required. Please ask.
Bathrooms: The main bathroom has a shower, vanity, and a separate toilet. The second bathroom is an ensuite which has shower, toilet, and vanity.
The large garage is a great space for storing ski gear or bikes during your stay. There is also a generous hot water cupboard kitted out for hanging your jackets on the main level, located in the laundry area.
Heaps of off street parking on the driveway. Mangawhero Trail and Ohakune Disc Golf a small walk from the house. Both are hours of family fun!
Special conditions:
- Guests to leave property clean and tidy as they found it.
- Bring own linen (sheets, pillow cases, towels), unless pre arranged.
- 2 night minimum stay during ski season.
