About the host
Hosted by Hayley Jenkins
I’m from Auckland, however I love the vibe in Ohakune. I absolutely love the snow, I would do back to back winters if I could! I like to share my chalet with others so they can experience all that Ohakune has to offer.
Why they chose this property
I love Ohakune because there are so many outdoor activities that you can do. It’s a great place to be in summer and winter.
What makes this property unique
Beautiful picturesque views of the mountain while you’re cooking or indulging in the spa after a day of adventures. Also walking distance to great restaurants and bars so there is no need for your car.
