Stunning mountain views · spa, fireplace, drying room · dogs welcome!

Pack the ski gear and head to your family home away from home at the foot of Mt Ruapehu. This modern 3-bedroom home has stunning mountain views from the open-plan living area and expansive deck. After a big day on the slopes, sink into the outdoor spa pool under the stars, then warm up by the fireplace and melt into the feather-filled sofas. The drying room means wet gear is warm and ready for morning. Quiet neighbourhood, one acre of space, 15-min walk or 1-min drive to Ohakune town.

The Property

Spacious and thoughtfully set up for families, this home sleeps 8 across three bedrooms. The master has a luxurious queen bed, private ensuite and those stunning mountain views. The second bedroom has a queen bed with hotel-quality linen, and the third is set up perfectly for kids with full-sized bunk beds. Two bathrooms plus a separate toilet means no queue after a big day on the mountain — and there's a bathtub for those who want a proper soak.

The kitchen is genuinely exceptional — better equipped than most Airbnbs you'll ever stay in. Large pots, a slow cooker, a big roasting dish, a Nespresso machine and everything you need to cook a proper meal for eight. Guests comment on it constantly. Open-plan living flows through bi-folding doors onto the expansive deck, so you can enjoy those mountain views without leaving the comfort of home.

For evenings in, there's something for everyone: Netflix, Disney+, Neon, a stereo, video games, and a huge collection of books, board games and puzzles for adults, kids and families. When the mountain disappears into the dark, this place really comes into its own.

The brand new enclosed drying room in the garage is a game-changer for ski and snowboard families — hang all your wet gear overnight and it'll be warm and dry ready for another day on the slopes. Ski and board racks, plenty of kit storage, and ample parking including room for trailers, campervans and horse floats.

Portacot and cot bedding available on request. Dedicated workspace with monitor if you need to sneak in some work.
