I thought the property was very reasonable. It was clean, comfortable, and warm. There was a washing machine and dryer, clean towels and linen available. I liked that there was also a selection of books to choose from as there was no internet at the house. There were also some DVD's, my teenagers couldn't find any that would actually play due to being scratched - it turned out alright - they were able to spend more time interacting, laughing and singing instead! There are also some books and puzzles available. We had a great time!

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!

Needs cleaning
The house is very dusty. The first night the kids scratched and coughed from the dust all night. So second day i ended up having to dust and vacuum the house thoroughly, including top of heat pump that was very dusty therefore blew dust everywhere when operating. Otherwise cute little house with everything you neec for a ski trip.

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.

Good place
In general the property was good and clean and check in was very easy. I liked the attic room (it was much warmer than downstairs though). But in my cabin, the hot water wasn’t working (maybe I missed the switch). And it seems from the instructions in the room that cleaning is solely reliant on the previous guest. (I don’t really know if this is true, but it made me feel a bit worried during my stay, that’s all.)

Quiet and comfortable
We enjoyed a 6 night stay in this slightly dated bach, only using the ground floor. It's in a quiet area, a very manageable walk from both central Ohakune and the station area. Well equipped (though could do with one or two odds and ends such as kitchen foil and cling film). A 'welcome' folder with a bit more information on the property would be nice, rather than just a notice on the wall.
