The property is situated 5 minutes from Ohakune so easy to get to for shops and restaurants. Also easy access to Mt Ruapehu for skiing.

Great host, lovely breakfast, comfortable rooms, cozy cabin with a fireplace and mountain views! The grounds are beautiful, and our little one enjoyed exploring it.

Nothing, it was honestly perfect

Such a beautiful property in a very quiet area, just 8mins from ohakune. The hosts went above and beyond for my friends and I! I’d love to go back and stay there again

Location was superb! Breakfast was amazing and the attention to detail was paramount! The cabins were cozy and quiet. The kids loved every bit of it! Thanks Dani for being such a wonderful host!

Our hosts were fabulous and very welcoming. Nothing was a problem ! (even with three children, requesting three different, odd, and unusual breakfast items each morning). The cabins were cozy and quiet, and with the fireplace in full swing, they were warm and super comfortable. Top marks. Danny - You're a Lad.

I wish I stayed for longer

The breakfast was delicious, perfectly cooked and satisfying. The hosts were welcoming, friendly and provided exceptional service. The accommodation was incredibly comfortable, warm and provided plenty of opportunity for entertainment regardless of the weather

I think the only negative is the size of TV and where it's placed (too high up). Other than that, can't fault (personal opinion) anywhere else awesome place is great. The host is real friendly and knowledgeable in re to places to go to and explore. I think the spa pool should ve included in the rate.

Place is amazing, real cosy and my kids loved it!!

It was all great

Lovely location to relax and enjoy mountain views. About 5 to 8.minute drive from the town center in a nice quiet area.Dani is a great host who cares for his guests, and he makes a lovely breakfast. He even posted some items back to our address for us that we left behind

Our family of four had a lovely stay for 3 nights and the breakfast was great every morning. Lovely view and space for our puppy to roam. Would stay again if we are in the area.

Not much besides how far it was to town, during Mardi Gras Daniel the host was a taxi so that was excellent

Everything, it’s what it is advertised as. Perfect.

Nothing - I am amazed this place isn’t booked out all year round!

This place was such a good find. Preston’s condition, private and awesome views of the mountain! The owner goes out of his way to ensure everything about our stay was excellent. Cooked eggs for breakfast and able to bring the dog was a massive bonus!

Well presented, clean and tidy with everything you need. Would be great for couples and was great for our family too.

Stayed in July 2024

Everything was good

The room was really comfortable, the full place is amazing, with the Mt ruapehu views, the breakfast was awesome (Daniel is an amazing host). The iron fireplace in the room is a game changer in winter.

Stayed in June 2024

The owner and his partner bent over backwards to accomodate for myself and the other guests, I can’t say enough how happy I was with my stay! I will definitely return

What a beautiful place and perfect host! Thank you Daniel. The surrounding is just wonderful and the care for the details is terrific.

Nothing. It exceeded our expectations.

We stayed in a beautifully appointed huge bedroom with walk in robe and bathroom and a shared balcony. The older style property is well maintained. Our room also had a fridge, microwave, plates etc. We made use of both the house’s well equipped kitchen and the outside bbq area to cook our evening meals. There are plenty of outside or inside furnished areas to use as well. Ohakune is a pretty town close by, with a car, & had several nice eateries. Daniel is a fantastic, really helpful host and the breakfasts are superb and served in a delightful room with garden views.
