About the host

Hosted by Lena

Host profile image
I have always loved New Zealand and desired to live here since I was a young girl growing up in Sweden. Now it has finally become a reality as my New Zealand born husband and I moved here in 2017 after living on the island of St. Maarten for 34 years, where we raised our family and developed a business servicing boats.
New Zealand is all I ever dreamed of in its natural beauty and with its lovely people - I am very happy to now call it home.

Why they chose this property

Ohakune has so much to offer in the way of adventure and stunning scenery that after visiting a few times staying with friends we decided we wanted to spend as much time as possible there skiing, biking and exploring all there is to do on the trails, rivers and mountains all around so we purchased our property to make this a reality. And we feel we got a real gem of a home - warm, sunny and spacious - has everything we were looking for! And as an extra bonus it is within walking distance to Ohakune town, and with bush walks on our doorstep.
Ohakune has everything one needs for a vacation with its activities, restaurants, bars, grocery, and very friendly and welcoming people who make us feel instantly at home.

What makes this property unique

The Mountain View is breath taking - and the sun streaming in all the windows makes for a feeling of outdoor living even inside in winter.
With lots of space - enough for multiple families it is perfect for our children and their families to join us, and there's plenty of room for everyone.
Being insulated with double glazed windows, fire place and heaters makes it a uniquely warm home during the winter months - after living in the Caribbean for 34 years a warm home is of utmost importance to us :)

And for hot summer days there's a small swimming hole in the river only minutes walk away!
