Had a wonderful stay at the Yurt in Ohakune. Really enjoyed a different type of accommodation. Very comfortable beds and modern interior.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a positive review! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back in the future for another amazing experience.
Having a Yurt experience made our trip even more special with having family over from the UK. Fantastic location, established trees to make it private, unique accommodation with great amenities.
Well provisioned, lovely space to hang out. The yurts are thoughtfully laid out so that each one has privacy and a nice outlook into native planting. Well-stocked kitchen.
The accommodation exceeded our expectations. We all loved it. Everything we needed was there. It was sunny and spacious, a beautiful space to relax in after a day of exploring.

Great house great use of space. Warm. Good supply of wood. Excellent equipment. Great shower. Brilliant to have Sky and Netflix particularly as we could not ski due to the weather. Thanks it’s a great house.
The yurt was beautiful and we all enjoyed our stay! Had everything we needed and more that we didn't expect from a holiday house. Loved the layout and the fire was perfect, stocked with more than enough wood. We will be back!
Warm, comfortable stay in a distinctive quirky property in Ohakune with good supplies of firewood, comfortable beds and a good kitchen.
