A very comfortable house for our group of eight. A lovely rural location not too far from Ohakune. It was very clean and had all we needed for the weekend. Great value for money.

Beautiful home and amenities/activities. Every room had a spacious bed and each bed had electric blankets (wonderful in the winter!). The home is warm and feels welcoming as soon as you step inside. Wouldn't hesitate to book again. The host is very friendly and had the heaters going for us by the time we got there.

Great family stay in Horopito

This is a quiet but spacious and charming house very suitable for a family group or group of friends. We were all very comfortable here. Close to some good walks, golf and good restaurants (and the big vegetables) in Ohakune. A little late learning about access details, but once we made contact with Mike he was extremely friendly and helpful.
