About this property

Fantastic Lodge for Family or Groups..Drying Room and bike rack lockup

This family owned house is set up to cater for all your holiday and skiing needs. With 180m2 of floor space, including HUGE lounge, rumpus room, drying room, heated floors bathroom (downstairs) and drying room + 5 Bedrooms, most with electric blankets on the beds. New in 2020 is secure bike and ski racks

This is serious space, with stunning views. You can soak up the Mt Vista from the 11m long deck on the top floor. There are not many 2 story houses in Ohakune, so your views are unique.

WARM, fully rebuilt in 2007, we FULLY INSULATED house. Wood fire upstairs and gas heater (wall mounted to outside gas bottles).

This house has space and facilities to make your holiday a dream time even on a wet day. Pool table, foozball, board games, dart board and TV and DVD player (no aerial so no TV, but kids DVDs)

5 mins walk from town's shops and cafes yet tucked away down a right of way in a private setting.

If you are looking for something a bit posh then Twin Oaks is probably not for you, this is an ideal space for families who want to relax in comfort in a place that's much like home.

Also only a 15 minute walk to bars and Mardi Gras area.... or a 20 minute stagger home :-)

Pillows, duvet's and blankets supplied. Please bring your own linen.

Very disappointed - cannot recommend

The property was promoted as rustic so we expected and were ready for something akin to a backpacker. Our experience…the cleaner had covid and the owner didn’t follow up to make sure the place was cleaned before we arrived so the place was very dirty. They said they would waive our cleaning bill, well that is what I would consider a minimum, who wants to go on holiday and have to clean the home before you can use it! The picture of the outside did not reflect the actual condition of the grounds. When we arrived the grounds were overgrown with grass and weeds over 30cm tall so the maintenance and care issue is not just a COVID blip. One of the children asked if the property was abandoned. As I arranged this as a family holiday I was very embarrassed. There doesn’t appear to have been any general maintenance, done on the place for a while. There is a hole in wall in a bedroom, and a cracked window. Two rooms had curtain rails hanging off the wall. The upstairs veranda and chairs need a good waterblast to remove the mould and grime. The positives of the place are that there is a lot of bedding, the bathrooms were good and the kitchen is well stocked with pots pans etc. the location is great. They owners provide a good range of videos and games. I feel very sorry for the owner as I think their maintenance person has let them down. I had earlier correspondence with the owners and they were genuinely helpful. Backpacker/quirky home is what we expected but for nearly $3000 for 8 days the cleanliness and general condition of the property and grounds was not ok. I hope the owner does something about this. I’ve raised it with them and provided photos of the condition of the place but have not had a response.

Squash trip

We stayed two nights while playing a squash tournament, had plenty of firewood and heating sources to keep us warm. Great location to walk into town and stores. Plenty of beds and all the facilities to eat comfortably from home.

Perfect place for groups!

This house was absolutely perfect for a large group of us to stay. Lay out was really nice and plenty of space for many people. Beds and bedding were all very comfy. The house has everything you need + more. Really close to town, only a 20min stagger home from Mardi Gras. Check in process and communication was done quickly and efficiently. Highly recommend this property!

Fantastic set up for the larger crowds

Fantastic set up for the larger crowds....we were a family of 9 and it was no problem at all. Lots of beds and bedding, seating, underfloor heating was great in drying room, nice and warm (though you may need to check the downstairs heater...filter light comes on and it stops working) we had a ball with the football and pool tables! Great fun
