Ohakune snow trip

Perfect spot for a couple of nights in Ohakune. House was well set up, clean and tidy, and had everything we needed as a family with two young kids. With the fireplace as well as heaters in the bedrooms it was warm and cosy. Host was great, good communication. We were given clear instructions, and everything was straightforward and easy. Would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Alex and Zorana

Host profile image
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 call New Zealand our home for the last 31 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. It is very interesting and very important that all people who stayed in the house felt a positive energy. That must be love, we have for this house. We are very happy because our grandkids love this place too.

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.
