I thought the property was very reasonable. It was clean, comfortable, and warm. There was a washing machine and dryer, clean towels and linen available. I liked that there was also a selection of books to choose from as there was no internet at the house. There were also some DVD's, my teenagers couldn't find any that would actually play due to being scratched - it turned out alright - they were able to spend more time interacting, laughing and singing instead! There are also some books and puzzles available. We had a great time!

About the host

Hosted by Geraldine Healy

I am a school teacher and own this chalet in Ohakune which is my retreat from the busyness of work- love the walks in summer, they are varied and superb and adore the snow in the winter. I love tramping, hiking, bike riding and snowboarding- so this area is ideal!

Why they chose this property

The benefits of the central plateau in both winter and summer are amazing!! You really do get the best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique

Cosy, warm, good for small groups or families and as close to the mountain as you can get from Ohakune. A cosy compact chalet with views from the lounge window and front deck, up to the mountain. We are continually upgrading the chalet.
