About this property

Alpine Retreat - Ohakune Holiday Home

Bright, cosy and providing picturesque views of Mount Ruapehu, this Ohakune holiday home is packed with everything you need no matter the season. Welcome to Alpine Retreat!

Spacious open-plan living, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow allow you to settle right in upon arrival. Put your feet up by the toasty fire on a chilly winters’ evening, and maximise on family time with a movie night in front of the TV with Freeview.

Take your living outdoors, where the large deck space invites you to sit & enjoy a crisp wine, paired with a delicious cheeseboard or relax in the spa and watch the sun set next to Mt Ruapehu all year round.

A fully equipped kitchen will set you up well for your stay. Imagine coming home after a day shredding the slopes and whipping up a feast for the troops with ease. With options to dine alfresco or indoors, you're in for an absolute treat here!

This Alpine Retreat offers three bedrooms that can comfortably sleep up to six guests. Two modern bathrooms, a full laundry and a drying room complete the set up for a fuss-free stay.

There's a lockable storage shed to keep your gear dry overnight, and when it comes time to hit the slopes, Turoa is only 24-minute drive away, and Whakapapa a slightly further 47-minute drive.

If you're keen to do something a bit closer to home, the Ohakune Carrot Park is only a two-minute drive away from home, and the Vertigo Adventure Centre is only three minutes away by car. Alpine Retreat also has a large, lockable shed available to store your bikes, skis and other sporting equipment.

The local cafés and restaurants are only a 14-minute walk, or 3-minute drive away for those evenings where you’d rather unwind without the hassle of preparing your own meal.

For a slice of winter paradise, look no further than Alpine Retreat!
As there are fixed bench seats on a section of the deck, adults should closely supervise young children in this area to ensure they do not climb the deck barrier.

The two king single beds in bedroom one can be joined together to make a California king bed. Please inform us at time of booking which configuration you require.

Having to message host for access details and not receiving until 10 minutes before check in time is not what we have usually experienced.

Great size of the inside and outside areas, was well equipped to do your own cooking etc. There is a gas fireplace and plug in heaters which we weren't too sure if it would heat the house enough, however the gas fireplace alone was fantastic, very snug! Plenty of space for us (family of 4). The spa was an added bonus and was just beautiful to sit in on a cold sunny afternoon looking over at the mountain, could not fault anything, was absolutely perfect!

Family friendly ski house

We enjoyed our stay in general. House was warm and quiet. Reasonably comfortable beds. Sofa could do with an upgrade. Nice big spa pool... good for a big group. Water needed a top up and chemical balance though. Kitchen was well kitted out and it was a nice touch to find a few basics there for our use if we wanted eg. salt & pepper, coffee, tea, sugar etc
