Jul 6, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Cozy, Lived-In Family Base Near Ohakune This little villa is about 10 minutes’ drive from Ohakune, in a small, quiet settlement — a nice escape from the busier town centre.The house feels warm and cozy, great for a family stay, though it's definitely on the well-used side. Don’t expect anything pristine or newly renovated — it’s got a bit of wear and tear, but that can be a good thing when you’re travelling with kids and don’t want to be too precious about things.The kitchen is well equipped and easy to cook in, although the oven was a bit tricky (the buttons are completely worn off). The fireplace was a big plus — it kept the house comfortably warm and there was plenty of wood supplied.Beds were comfortable and linen was clean. The bathroom is nothing fancy, but clean and totally fine. Having Netflix and free Wi-Fi was a real bonus, especially on rainy days.Considering the price, it’s good value for money — especially for a family trip where comfort and practicality matter more than polish. The weather didn’t do us any favours, but the house was a decent base to hang out in, and we still managed a few little walks and a visit to the Ohakune climbing wall between downpours. ##### Boris P.

This was our second stay at Kosby's Cottage, and just like the fist time, it was nothing short of amazing! The home was impeccably clean and well-appointed, with every amenity we could possibly need. The living space was spacious and comfortably furnished, making it a perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring. The kitchen was fully equipped, allowing us to cook meals with ease. We especially loved the cozy bedrooms, which offered a restful retreat with plush bedding and serene decor. The location was ideal, offering tranquility and privacy while still being conveniently close to local attractions and amenities. The hosts were incredibly attentive and responsive, providing us with excellent communication and ensuring our stay was as enjoyable as possible. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality truly made our vacation special. It was the perfect getaway for relaxation, adventure, and quality time with loved ones. We can't wait to return and create more wonderful memories here. Highly recommended! ##### Wendy V.
