Great flexibility from Lena to access the property. Magical views of Mt Ruapehu. Excellent deck, kitchen & living area to cater for large family gathering. Walkway to town was easy to find.
We loved this property - had everything we needed to cook for our combined families, was low-mainenance and nice open plan with plenty of space, had lots of books and toys for the kids plus family DVDs, and watching the sunrise across the beautiful view (but also with privacy) and the logburner going was bliss. The only other thing we could have wished for was a spa pool ;) Would love to stay here again!
Spacious, well appointed, clean house with beautiful views. Great communication from the host who went the extra mile at each contact point. The house is really warm and well considered for guests.
Perfect for us two families with kids, priceless view of the mountain. Cosy, clean, location top notch. Owner friendly to deal with, thanks we’d definitely would love to come back and stay there again some time in the future.
Big place, perfect for groups, ideally located. We were four adults and four kids - the house is massive and easily accommodates indoor activities but equally has a great deck and total views despite being walking distance from town.
Incredible accommodation! Could not fault it. Snuggled up by the fire was our favourite aspect of our stay. Plenty of room in kitchen, dining and lounges for 6 of us. We never felt on top of each other. Super clean and had everything we needed. Would love to come back. Thank you Lena.
A beautiful spot to stay in Ohakune, close by to town and Ruapehu. Nice quiet street, house has plenty of space and is nicely equipped for family with kids, and an amazing host too. Would definately stay again. Thanks Lena!
We had three adults and two kids (3.5 and 7) stay for four nights in Autumn. We loved all the space and the toy box was an unexpected bonus for the three year old.
Very well appointed property, would stay again.
We enjoyed our stay at Ohakune and the house had everything we needed. We loved the fire and the kids enjoyed the board games. We will book in again next time we go to Ohakune.
Great view of Mt Ruapehu, Well furnished, very cozy, the family had a lot of fun playing board games. Very warm in rooms and lounge. Highly recommend to spend a family holiday in this beautiful home.
A great place to stay for 6 friends on a cycling holiday. The house had everything we needed. The house was full of sunshine when we arrived and we had a marvellous view of Ruapehu.

About the host
Hosted by Lena
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!
