Hello Airbnbers! Arnika's home is wonderful. It is simply the most well styled and put together Airbnb I have stayed it. The bar is set very high with this home. It is brand new, spotless and the quality furnishings speaks for themselves. I love the touches of wall paper and hints of the past with photos and decor.
The team running the Airbnb in Ohakune for Arnika (Victoria and Veronica) are excellent. They are very communicative, helpful and willing to address any issues that may arrive. The location is perfectly convenient if you want to be right in the heart of town. You literally can roll out of bed and stumble into a cafe. It is on the main road, but we didn't have any noise issues during out stay.
The clean and new hot tub was perfect to soak our muscles after doing The Tongariro crossing. The entertainers kitchen makes it easy to prepare dinner while still being in the mix with other guests. It is also quite cool in the home even though it was outside. We didn't need to turn on the HRV/AC .
The only thing you might consider is bringing your own pillow as all pillows on the three beds are the same. The pillows (medium firm memory foam) are new and nice, but I happen to need a different type pillow. I made due. It's not a let down or a reason not to book, but just something to be aware of.
It's an A+ Airbnb accommodation and I imagine you'll enjoy it as much as we did.
