My wife, kids and I travelled from Auckland to meet friends from Fielding for a mid winter escape. We were looking for some where with a well setup kitchen where we could enjoy cooking a few winter meals, a fire place to keep cozy, views of Mt Ruapehu, a spa & something close to Ohakune - this is EXACTLY what we got. This property is extremely well setup for families or groups of friends to kick back and enjoy what the region has to offer. The views are amazing, neighbours extremely friendly, close to town but not right amount the hustle and bustle of the mountain folk. We enjoyed a horse trek with the kids only a few minutes walk from the gate and nestled down in the evenings with great food and a few (quite a few) beverages. Unfortunately the people that stayed before us left the place in a bit of a state but this was soon rectified with the help of our hosts. We will defiantly be back and recommend this property to anyone looking for all of the above.
