"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."

"Generally a pretty positive experience. Nice place, hosts were excellent, both communication and helpfulness. We liked the location being the quieter end of Tapoe and a bit out more rural, but not all would. Probably the only negative is the accommodation is near the road so you hear (and feel) the cars and especially trucks passing even at night. The hosts try their best to limit the local traffic noise but its there. We were okay with it, but i imagine some people would find it difficult."

"The kids loved all the toys! Great location for going up to Turoa"

"A friend and I stayed here for a ski trip and really enjoyed it. It's a great location, a very short drive from the town centre with view to the mountains on a good day. We really enjoyed the hot tub after a full day of skiing and the games room is a nice touch. "

"Fantastic location for a stay in National Park and to access Whakapapa ski resort. Accommodation was a home from home and the fire made all the difference. A very short, easy walk to the pub too. Book in confidence."

"We chose this place to break up our drive back to Wellington, and it was so clean and comfortable, was a perfect place to stay overnight."

"This is a basic family Bach. Nothing flash, but it was just right for our little group to stay for a couple of nights while skiing in the daytime. Easy access and parking. Lovely and warm. Fantastic communication with the owners."

"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."

"We loved the house; spaciousness and location were good, except there was no snow :( Communication with the owner was quick and easy. However, instructions for cleaning/leaving were not given so there was some confusion about what we needed to do. We had noticed that there were some areas that had not been cleaned for a while, then met the person who came to change the beds and apparently that is all she does? So - clearer instructions please, we would have cleaned if we'd known we had to."

"Houses were very clean and well presented, with good kitchen equipment - except for extra teatowels (we were there 4 days) a pot mitt, and a couple more more rubbish bags. We appreciated the firewood, so could make the house cosy, and with the double glazing, and the heat pumps we were comfortable."

"Lovely managers (who also bring you food to feed the animals), super clean property and able to utilised by lots of people doing different things. Great place to stay and we will definitely be back."

"Nice spot to spend a few days exploring the region. Lots of space to spread out. Cozy woodburner."
