Hi Kelly, we are glad that you had good weekend. We didn't wont to take extra money from your bond but we were very disappointment how the house has been left. You found our house clean and tidy when you checked in.
As you know we don't charge extra money for the cleaning but we had to pay to our cleaner extra $40 on top we played her. She had to wash one sheet from the single bunk bed that was dirty. You didn't use your own. The fridge wasn't cleaned and wood box wasn't load before you left.
We expect from our guests to follow the house rules and respect our effort to make the house clean and comfortable for everybody.
You have little kids and that is the reason we didn't wont to take those $40 from your bond.
Great accommodation, clean and tidy with all the amenities that you need and a very homely feel. Location is perfect and town center is a short walk away
Check in and departure instructions are clear, and communication with the lovely owners are quick and easy.
Highly would recommend and will stay here again :)

Brilliant location and the place was very comfy and warm, especially with the heat from the fireplace. We had a very relaxing stay. My communication with the host was excellent and we had everything we needed/required as a family, except for the fine weather. We will return again.

About the host
Hosted by Alex and Zorana
We are a middle-aged couple but very young in our hearts. Originally coming from Europe where we used to live close to the mountain and ski center. With that background, it is very understandable that we fell in love with New Zealand and Ohakune too. We have called New Zealand our home for the last 32 years. We have a lot of lovely friends and family too. Our two grandsons who are still very young are adorable and made our lives extremely happy. They love Ohakune very much.
Why they chose this property
We bought this property in 2003 to run away from the crowded city.
We always enjoyed our stay in the house and we love Ohakune. At that time we used to go to the mountain and enjoy skiing.
One day we decided to make some changes. We completely renovated the house, making our place very comfortable and even more enjoyable.
For many years we used to come with our friends and family only.
Some years ago we decided to rent our holiday home and share this lovely, stress-free house with people who might be interested to have the same experience.
For us it is important that most people who stayed in the house felt positive energy. That must be the love we have for this house.
It is really STRESS-FREE HOUSE
What makes this property unique
Some guests who enjoyed their stay in our Holiday Home, made the following comments: "Like Doctor Who's Tardis, it looks diminutive on the outside but is very spacious inside." We love this very unique and wonderful description. You are welcome to have the same experience.
