Glad that you enjoyed staying a Kotiri Chalet. We look forward to hosting you again in the near future.
We enjoyed staying at the chalet. It was warm, had nice beds, couches and bedding. Be aware the water switches suddenly from hot to cold.
Would stay again.

Very well priced and well organised. Neat and tidy we had good experience overall.
We loved our stay in the very comfortable cottage style house. The fireplace kept us very warm and it was an easy distance from the ski resort. The electric blankets on the bed were such a spoil!
Perfect place to stay especially after a very long road trip.
What a lovely property you have Ankita, and thank you so much for sharing it with us. We had a long trip and to arrive to a super cosy well presented home that was perfect for our beloved dog was just a tonic and we could recharge our batteries. Highly recommended and thank you again.

Thanks so much for the lovely review. It means a lot when somebody enjoys our holiday home as much as we do. You are most welcome as return guest if you are in this area again.
Spacious, AMAZING shower, comfy beds, nice and homely feel all around. Hob was a little small, but otherwise great kitchen. Great location, good pubfood at walking distance, close to shops, great walking spots and of course a stunning view of Mt Ruapehu. What's not to love?!
We visited this beautiful house over a rainy weekend. We were nice and cozy with a fireplace and heat pump. Close enough to be able to access walkways and snow. Highly recommended.
Well kept, obviously well loved by owners. Nicely appointed, everything in the kitchen to make life easy! Towels and lovely linen. A lovely holiday house to stay in. Had a hitch with netflix and the owners sorted it straight away. Highly recommend:)
Lovely place, perfect size for our group of 3 and could have easily accommodated another family with us. Fireplace, gas water and heat pump were all added bonuses. We'll equipped house with all the kitchen basics covered too. Linen supplied was a bonus just wish I'd realized that before we brought all our own in the car with us :) Added bonus being able to being the dog. Overall a great spot and hope to come back again some time. Nice close walk to town and a couple of kids playgrounds, as well as a lovely nature trail that was magic in the snow. Thank you for letting us stay in your house, we had a fabulous time and even got snow fall!!
I've stayed in heaps of places in Ohakune. Most are fine for crashing in after a day of skiing. This place is a cut above however. I'd really recommend it.
Our family had a great time, and appreciated being able to bring our little dogs with us.
