Great flexibility from Lena to access the property. Magical views of Mt Ruapehu. Excellent deck, kitchen & living area to cater for large family gathering. Walkway to town was easy to find.
Big place, perfect for groups, ideally located. We were four adults and four kids - the house is massive and easily accommodates indoor activities but equally has a great deck and total views despite being walking distance from town.
A beautiful spot to stay in Ohakune, close by to town and Ruapehu. Nice quiet street, house has plenty of space and is nicely equipped for family with kids, and an amazing host too. Would definately stay again. Thanks Lena!
We enjoyed our stay at Ohakune and the house had everything we needed. We loved the fire and the kids enjoyed the board games. We will book in again next time we go to Ohakune.
Incredible accommodation! Could not fault it. Snuggled up by the fire was our favourite aspect of our stay. Plenty of room in kitchen, dining and lounges for 6 of us. We never felt on top of each other. Super clean and had everything we needed. Would love to come back. Thank you Lena.
Great view of Mt Ruapehu, Well furnished, very cozy, the family had a lot of fun playing board games. Very warm in rooms and lounge. Highly recommend to spend a family holiday in this beautiful home.
A great place to stay for 6 friends on a cycling holiday. The house had everything we needed. The house was full of sunshine when we arrived and we had a marvellous view of Ruapehu.
This property had everything we required. Good views. Spacious sitting area. 2 bathrooms. Definitely suitable for a group of friends or a family gathering. Within walking distance of town.
We had the most wonderful family Christmas at Lena's house. We were so comfortable and communication with host was excellent. House could be improved by having topper pads on top of queen size beds as they are rather hard and better/more lighting in the dining and lounge areas.
The house was so functional for our family of 3 adults and 7 children of various ages. There were spaces for everyone to enjoy. The kitchen was a dream with everything available to cater for a big group. The deck had a great view of the mountain and the bird calls in the morning beautiful.
We had a good time in this house. It had everything needed for two families. The house is very spacious, and since we spent a lot of time inside, the children also had plenty to keep them entertained. Excellent communication with the owner of the house, who was willing to accommodate us when we were planning to stay an extra day.
Highly recommended."
a beautiful place, a spacious wonderful house with a large living room, kitchen and all amenities and annadleties. A large open veranda with a wonderful view of the mountains, it was so nice to watch the sunset and the moon rise. Lovely and very responsive manager Lena. Thank you.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had extended family joining us and the space was just perfect for all of the people that we had. We had a minor issue when I couldn't find something but Lena's communication was exceptional and the matter was resolved quickly. They house is super warm and is very well equipped with everything you need. We would love to stay again but might be a bit big for our family of 4.
When we arrived we were gobsmacked by the size of the living/dining/kitchen area. It's huge! And all these rooms have spectacular views of Ruapehu. And the place stays incredibly warm. In fact, we had to draw the curtains to keep the sun out as it was too warm -- in the middle of July! Having four bedrooms and two bathrooms meant our party of six had ample space. The kitchen was equipped with everything you could imagine -- apart from a teapot.
We loved this property - had everything we needed to cook for our combined families, was low-mainenance and nice open plan with plenty of space, had lots of books and toys for the kids plus family DVDs, and watching the sunrise across the beautiful view (but also with privacy) and the logburner going was bliss. The only other thing we could have wished for was a spa pool ;) Would love to stay here again!
