The fireplace was great to keep the house warm. The water pump in the back room was a little noisy at night. The previous renters did not leave the property particularly clean but nothing that we could not clean. We will defenitely stay again next year. The kids enjoyed the outdoors even with the low temperatures over the weekend

Enjoyed our stay! The fireplace kept the house nice and warm. Plenty of space outside for the kids and adults to play. The house could do with a deep clean and the previous guests didn’t leave it very clean but that’s the risk for a self clean service. Overall we found it comfortable once we settled in. Worth noting there’s no tv or wifi, limited cell reception depending on your network. I’ve added photos of the bedrooms as it was a little hard to tell from the listing what the bedroom set ups were like.

Great Whanau getaway

Great Communication There were 18 of us so well worth it for the price of just a little over $20 a night each. Fireplace is awesome but down it the bathroom was very cold! If you like the basics then you will be fine. Be prepared to give it a little bit of a clean wipe down when you arrive as there was evidence of rodents. Other then that great place.

Old school scout lodge.

The previous guests hadn’t least the place in the tidiest condition which didn’t give the best initial impression. After a vacuum and air-out we had an enjoyable stay. The fire kept the place very warm.

Repeat visit

Second year in a row that we've stayed here for Labour Weekend. Was peaceful and quiet, ideally located for a range of activities nearby. Kids enjoyed gathering dead wood for the outdoor firepit, played boardgames into the evening, enjoyed the view of Ruapehu while sitting outside. Gorgeous location.

Lack of power and unfortunately given the wrong address

Power consistently cut out for multiple hours each day. We were given an address 5 km from the actual accomodation. Other then that beautiful little spot.

Great for a varied group

A group of 7 people wanted to do the Crossing, so we decided to make a long weekend of it. Partners, kids, the kitchen sinks, all packed away. As a Scouting family we were prepared for basic but functional, and it didn't disappoint in any way. We put the kids in one bunk room, and then adults bunked everywhere else. Those not doing the crossing prepared food, played games and popped in to Ohakune. Others went for shorter walks nearby. Was great and everyone wants to make it an annual thing.

Awesome stay

We loved our time here, we loved the property and the space. Fun places to explore nearby. We would love to go back, next time we go prepared to give a bit of a vacuum and scrub down before we start our holiday.

We stayed for just one night but the experience made us wanted to come back. The good firewood supply made us warm the whole night. The house is very clean. Late checkout is very convenient. Overall our experience is above expectation.

Whanau time

Easy comms, easy to find. Great base to go explore central Mtns. We took an extra stove top to ease the pressure of cooking, worked well. Heaps of fridge space and oodles of fire wood!! Enjoyable time away.

Great value for large groups

A characterful old lodge in a large grassy meadow surrounded by native bush. The lodge is rustic but comfortable enough, and unbeatable value at this price. Close to the mountains, Ohakune and National Park townships for supermarket, playgrounds, bushwalks etc. Fire pit was great and log burner works well, lots of good firewood supplied. Kitchen well equipped, lounge is basic but comfy, bathrooms and bunk rooms adequate. Worked well for our extended family’s Christmas gathering. Thank you.
