Unwind and adventure on the Mountain

This is a big alpine home in Ohakune but it is still rural so there is a huge garden to enjoy and it has exceptional views up to the mountain. A little path crosses the stream and there is a parkland of trees to explore. It is a quiet place for feeling the calm tranquility of the mountain, with loads of space for kids to build huts and run wild. 25 minutes to Turoa ski field. 20 minutes walk to Ohakune centre, 3mins drive. This listing is for the left hand side of the house. We also rent out a barn conversion on the property. Please note we do not provide linen unless requested.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

A very comfortable stay

We had a lovely time in Ohakune. This property is very peaceful and has a beautiful view on Mt Ruapehu. The place was very comfortable. Just note that the stairs are very steep.

Nice house in natural environment

I stayed there for about a week. We were able to spend a quiet and relaxing time in the midst of nature, surrounded by healthy animals such as sheep and chickens. The house is handmade, so sometimes there is a creaking sound of wood, but once you get used to it, it is comfortable. There was a time during our stay when the wifi did not connect, but the owner fixed it. I would recommend this place to anyone who likes to spend time in nature.

Enjoyed staying here

We enjoyed staying here as a stopoff between Northland and Wgtn. The property manager Oakley was very helpful and even offered us fresh veggies from their garden. The kids loved the chicks in the garden. House was fine - looked very solid and self built some time in the past. Was very quiet at night and had a good sleep. The stairs to the top level are quite steep so young kids may be better downstairs. Our kids are 8+ and were fine with the stairs.

Good value for money

This was cheap and cheerful accommodation which would be very good value for big groups in particular. We appreciated how clean the kitchen and bathroom were. Like most older A frames it is rather dark inside and there were a few cobwebs, but if you're out all day doing adventure activities. this is a comfortable place to come back to. I appreciated Shona's flexibility when we had to change our travel dates.Note it was very easy to hear noise in the second unit, so this might not be an ideal spot for noise sensitive folk if a loud group is staying next door
