Autumn Escape
The log cabin was even more beautiful than the photos. With a roaring fire to welcome us on arrival and the hot spa on the deck ready with mountain views was just bliss. Homemade crumpets and jam were just one of the special touches that made our stay so memorable. We played pool in the warmth of the heart of the house and scrabble as the sun went down. Only minutes away ftom Ohakune this gorgeous place exceeded our exoectations. It is beautifully appointed with a real charm, and super clean and tidy. A hidden gem it was a birthday treat stay that wont be forgotten. We will definitely be back

Fantastic retreat
It was lovely to get to the lodge and light a fire for a cosy evening, finishing it off with a spa before bed. Everything we needed was provided, and a beautiful breakfast as well.

Amazing loghouse in a great location soo close to trails
We visited the loghouse now for the second time. Last time was in winter 2023 with absolutely amazing snow. This time we took our bikes and discovered a wide variaty of trails we found on Alltrails. Deborah and Steve as usually made our stay absolutely perfect and our daughter absolutely loves the house. We will come back in winter again. Thanks heaps for such an amazing listing.

Photos don't do the house justice
Staying here was lovely, there was so much space for the whole family and we couldn't get enough of the beautiful view. The bathrooms arent photographed in the listing so we weren't sure what to expect. There is a full modern bathroom downstairs with a shower. Theres another bathroom downstairs split with the shower and toilet in seperate rooms. The bathroom upstairs is connected to the main bedroom. All lovely, modern and clean. I brought my dog along and was pleased to find it very dog friendly. Didn't even have to worry about him trying to go upstairs because the wooden spiral staircase was too "scary" for him. Overall a great place and would be happy to stay here again.

Log house dreams
We have always loved log houses and this one does not disappoint! Just 2 of us on a break away and it felt cosy and warm, could just as easily have been 10 with plenty of beds and break out spaces. We had 2 of the fireplaces going and the large pool table was a fun diversion. Never turned the tv on which is always a great sign. Great view of the mountain on arrival (well what we could see under the cloud) from the lounge, she hid after that but you can’t control the weather. Lovely hosts made sure the fire was going and fridge stocked with homemade crumpets before we arrived. Highly recommend, we would definitely come again!

Fantastic log lodge!
We had a wonderful time staying at the lodge. Deb and Steve were great hosts and the homemade crumpets and jam were awesome! The house has everything you need and more, with the pool table, spa and so many games and books to choose from. It’s also very dog friendly and our kelpie had a great time playing and lazing outside on the lawn. Views are spectacular - we were so lucky because the weather was stunning, bright sunny days which meant watching beautiful sunrises next to the mountain from the deck. I just wish we could have stayed longer…

Our new favourite place
This property has everything you need for a snow getaway. The location is perfect. There is so much space. Spa and a pool table are great. It’s 12 minutes from Ohakune but we didn’t even feel like leaving the house unless going to the slopes.
