We had a wonderful time in this stylish, functional and delightful spot in Ohakune.
We were two families with lots of young kids, and were easily accommodated. It's well decorated and really well designed (you can read about it in magazines!). It has a great social/entertaining end of the house that allowed us to host dinners with our 8 plus some guests also up for the weekend, who were staying down the road and jealous of our digs. Adult bedrooms either side of the hall, with kids bunk rooms in between, and a bathroom plus ensuite (ie 2 bathroom options) makes sharing pretty easy.
Little touches (keyless entry, music playing on arrival, warmth) make things pleasant and simple. The design makes you feel like you're in a space that's had a lot of care and attention. Little welcome gifts (decent bottle of wine, plenty of proper coffee, lots of things for cooking) make it feel special. Easy check in, cleaning, linen, comms with the owners, etc.
We are keen skiers, and the heated, vented drying room in the laundry is obviously helpful, given Ruapehu's habit for mixed weather in winter. And the heat pump and panel electric heating in every room easily copes in August.
I chose it, and got good brownie points with my wife and our friends.
