It was exacrly what we were looking for and perfect for our little family (2 adults, 9 year old, and dog). Its not far from Ohakune at all and worth the distance in my opinion to have somewhere remote and away from the tourist madness during the peak season. It was very clean, well appointed, and we are definitely looking forward to booking this place in the future. It was a little difficult to find but all the good treasures are.

Except a welcome pack or instructions for using the TV & DVD. Still don't know if you can get the basic tv channels as we were unsuccessful. Shame it's so close to the road as we heard a lot of traffic. Adding some rain cover to the pagoda, especially over the front door would be helpful as we hit a rainy few days. And an inside door mat to wipe your feet;) ##### Rowena V. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Miranda 11 Jul 2024 Liked: Communication The house was satisfactory for one night, but I was disappointed that the property was so hard to find!! I thought with the detailed instructions and the map it would be easy, but it wasn't! Pls consider adding the street number to your information. The place was cleanish, but not spotless which was disappointing. It was the middle of winter, and the woodburner was great, but the heaters and the hot water weren't very effective. We also couldn't get any reception on the TV. Other than that the place was good, but I'd only return if it wasn't winter. ##### Miranda Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ---
