Fantastic place to stay. Lots of room, comfy sofas and beds. Kitchen fully equiped, so could easily stay for a week, cook full meals etc. Hot hot water and fantastic water pressure. Loved having a fire place, but the house is very warm even without it. We had a great time, loved the house and loved Ohakune - biking, walking, eating out and a great op shop too!

Incredible accommodation! Could not fault it. Snuggled up by the fire was our favourite aspect of our stay. Plenty of room in kitchen, dining and lounges for 6 of us. We never felt on top of each other. Super clean and had everything we needed. Would love to come back. Thank you Lena.

Perfect stay

We loved this property - had everything we needed to cook for our combined families, was low-mainenance and nice open plan with plenty of space, had lots of books and toys for the kids plus family DVDs, and watching the sunrise across the beautiful view (but also with privacy) and the logburner going was bliss. The only other thing we could have wished for was a spa pool ;) Would love to stay here again!

Xmas in 'Kune

We had the most wonderful family Christmas at Lena's house. We were so comfortable and communication with host was excellent. House could be improved by having topper pads on top of queen size beds as they are rather hard and better/more lighting in the dining and lounge areas.

Family house

We had a good time in this house. It had everything needed for two families. The house is very spacious, and since we spent a lot of time inside, the children also had plenty to keep them entertained. Excellent communication with the owner of the house, who was willing to accommodate us when we were planning to stay an extra day. Highly recommended."

Space and location

Big place, perfect for groups, ideally located. We were four adults and four kids - the house is massive and easily accommodates indoor activities but equally has a great deck and total views despite being walking distance from town.

The house was so functional for our family of 3 adults and 7 children of various ages. There were spaces for everyone to enjoy. The kitchen was a dream with everything available to cater for a big group. The deck had a great view of the mountain and the bird calls in the morning beautiful.

Warm spacious accommodation with stunning views

When we arrived we were gobsmacked by the size of the living/dining/kitchen area. It's huge! And all these rooms have spectacular views of Ruapehu. And the place stays incredibly warm. In fact, we had to draw the curtains to keep the sun out as it was too warm -- in the middle of July! Having four bedrooms and two bathrooms meant our party of six had ample space. The kitchen was equipped with everything you could imagine -- apart from a teapot.
