Fantastic place to stay. Lots of room, comfy sofas and beds. Kitchen fully equiped, so could easily stay for a week, cook full meals etc. Hot hot water and fantastic water pressure. Loved having a fire place, but the house is very warm even without it. We had a great time, loved the house and loved Ohakune - biking, walking, eating out and a great op shop too!

Perfect stay

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!
