great stay

new, tidy house in a good location, with good views. Enjoyed our stay. The only downside was the hot pool, it didn't look clean at all so we haven't used it. Otherwise, it was a great stay

Bliss

Lovely property, homely and inviting. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived and the heaters were already on! We are a family with four young children and it was the perfect. The spa was bliss after a day on the skis. Looking forward to coming back again

Great little bach

We enjoyed our short visit in this cozy little house. It is obvious that it is owned and loved by someone, not just a rental property. Lots of nice personal touches throughout. We weren’t there for very long but had everything we needed. Lovely place.

Perfection

We have stayed at many Book A Bach locations around NZ, and this was by far the best. Everything clean and in working order. Instructions were all clear. My family had a fabulous time, and we will definitely be back!

Overall great. The house is beautiful. Well appointed in a great location A confusing things one is the Jacuzzi is only accessible through one of the bedrooms. This is awkward with changing and sleeping if anyone wants to go into a night Jacuzzi soak. Also, the room being carpeted made it difficult to honor the owners and not get carpet wet, and there was no other way in or out of the Jacuzzi. The listing is also a bit misleading as the photo is of a black house with a Jacuzzi and it’s actually the neighbor’s home not this listing.

Great start in Ohakune

Overall the place was really good, great location and well kept. The only small issue was the spa was not cleaned so we couldn’t use it the last day before we left

Very nice and cosy

It was a little smaller than we expected but it was very nice and cosy and we were welcomed inside to it already being nice and warm. It was well furnished and we were provided with everything we needed. Overall a very nice little house to stay in with a young family.

Very comfortable stay close to town

What a wonderful place. Everything was lovely, new, clean and most of all warm. The drying room worked perfectly for our wet skiing gear. There was plenty of storage space for our stuff. Most importantly there was a powerful hot shower and the beds were super comfy. Almost forgot the immaculate and spacious hot tub. We had a great stay. Thanks Mark.

We had a great time at The Blue Door Chalet. The house is well equipped, heated and welcoming. We arrived with a heated house, which was very pleasant, especially with a baby. There is a range of games and books in case of bad weather. The bedding is perfect. We love the little "cabane" for kids/teen. We'll be back for sure.If I have to snipe, it would be nice to have a cot and a baby chair to avoid moving our house.The only thing was that the spa ran out of water and had a bad smell.

Blue door

Property was a great spot. Nice and warm. Just a note...the locks in the spa were broken and we couldn't get the tv to go ( didn't find all the remotes until near the end) but instructions didn't seem to work. Played games so not too much of an issue.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Danenhauer

Host profile image
We live in Taranaki and built this bach in Ohakune because we love the mountains. We've spent a lot of time at various baches across the country and all that time helped us learn what we'd want if we were ever lucky enough to have our own. We added many details that we enjoy and hope others will also in order to get the most out of their time exploring the area.

Why they chose this property

During winter the ski fields are awesome. Our family has had some great days at both Turoa and Whakapapa. Then, during the summer there are so many other fun ways to explore the area, such as hiking around the mountain on day hikes or multi-day walks. One of my other favourite pastimes is to go fly fishing. There are a lot of premiere rivers in the area (where I try to catch some trout, but mostly get in a lot of casting practice).

What makes this property unique

This new build has some nice features, such as the built in seating by the table, the secure storage area in the carpark, which is good for bikes or other gear. There is also a full laundry room with a dehumidifier, which serves as a simple drying room for wet gear. The best part is to take a dip in the spa at the end of the day.
