Cozy wee cottage is a perfect description- except there are little hideaways and even spending a rainy day with two kids here was great. Host was very easy to communicate with and was super kind when I made a mistake with our booking. Will definitely stay here again!

This well-equiped property is an ideal base for exploring Ohakune and the Tongariro National Park and is a firm favourite with our family. Hope to return on our next road trip to the North Island.

Great little place

This is the second time we have stayed here all was great.. except the cleanliness on arrival, was obviously not checked after last guests. I had to vacuum as it was pretty bad, and found dirty shorts just under( very visible) the queen bed. Otherwise our stay was good.

Bach was as described. Communication with Geraldine fantastic. Unfortunately the guests before us didn’t leave it very clean but apart from that, it’s good for a kiwi bach style stay away!
