The rooms are also light and large with 3 of the rooms leading out to the sundeck or upstairs balcony.

For winter stays, the home is also equipped with multiple potbelly fireplaces and plenty of wood to keep the fire burning through colder days.

A 15 minute drive from this home will have you in the heart of Ohakune, however if you feel like cycling the famous Old Coach Road and cycle trail to Ohakune is right by this home. You're perfectly situated between two skifields of Whakapapa and Turoa, which are just 30 minutes drive from the home, perfect for the skiers of the group.

A frustrating start but beautiful location

The property is as listed. Beautiful, well appointed and serene location close enough to everything. BUT it took over 30 minutes and several long distance phone calls to obtain the correct lockbox code to enter the property which was really frustrating after a long day's drive. I hope they sort that out.
