Had a good stay. It was pretty much as advertised so we really enjoyed it. Communication with our host was excellent It does get a little cold (old style bach so is expected) but there was plenty of fire wood so we kept cosy and warm. A perfect place to stay if you like staying in a truly authentic kiwi bach! Would easily stay again.
This is our second time staying here - the kids were really little when we first stayed. Now they are both at uni. A great place for the family to hang out. Clean, comfortable, quirky and warm. We never got bored. Highly recommended!
We had a great time staying here at first we were disappointed with the cleanliness of the property but once we got past that it was a great affordable place to stay
Perfect spot for family get together. Cozy kitchen area for sitting around the big table chatting, eating and drinking, playing cards. Woodfire heats the room up really well. Great location for accessing medium day walks. Can't believe they still do the whopper chocolate eclairs in Ohakune - they don't seem to have
changed in the 20 years since I last had one!
The cottage was just what we were looking for and lived up to its description and photos. What you can't get from the listing is how great the kitchen feels when it's cold out, the fire is going and you have the whole family together there. Reading in one of the rocking chairs next to the roaring fire is time well wasted.
Great pet friendly place for my cat's operation recovery...
As a 76 year-old woman I needed a pet-friendly place to stay while my cat recovered from his operation. He was in a big cage and loved the fire.There was a cold spell 7degrees and it took a bit to warm the place at night, I kept the fire going so was up and down. Texted the manager as the fire door sometimes didn't open. He didn't reply so I figured maybe it locked until the fire was cooler! That meant the cold prevailed. My heater in my home, the same, never did that.The water ran out, apparently because of the cold. That was stressful, then it came back on five hours later. Then big, black flies, many, appeared, late afternoon, and at night. Most unpleasant. No help was offered other than an apology. I took photos.I suggest people spray around the ornaments on the windows where the flies hid.I spent most of one day catching flies, spraying and cleaning. The bath looked brown until I cleaned it. It all needed a good clean. I hope it was nice for the next person. It's a cute place...
Wonderfully laid out and organised, charming and authentic bach. Good communication with the owner and agent led to a great stay. The instructions and information in the bach are helpful and clear, and there are so many nice touches within. We slept very soundly. Easy connection to Ohakune and beyond.
Who needs a top standard fancy bach when you can stay in a retro cottage like this with character!? Kiwi living and a reminder to slow the pace down. Well equipped bach.
We've stayed here for 4 nights, during our ski trip, with my partner and 2.5 yo toddler.
I've chosen the house by its authentic look and 2 fire places, and the location right near the railway was a super bonus! Yes, it was waking us up, but it was so cool to see train passing from your bedroom window! My toddler is overexcited about trains now and it was surely highlight of our trip.
The house is super cozy, old-fashioned, with so much history and interesting things to read and explore and watch!
Thank you for providing such experience and Looking forward to staying again in future!
great place but had 36 hours with little and no water due to frozen pipes and even the back up syste
great place but had 36 hours with little and no water due to frozen pipes and even the back up system failed initially, not great when coming down of the mountain and everyone is cold and hungry. suggest investigate a better water system that can cope with the winter conditions. would still recommend the place and would stay again.
