Our stay with Andy honestly couldn't have been any better. When we arrived he drove us around Ohakune showing us both sides of town and gave advice on the best restaurants and bars, as well as where we could get information on getting up to the snow. He was also great company when we were in the house, very interesting guy and was great fun getting to know him.
The place itself was great, by most accounts it was the coldest Ohakune has been in 16 years yet we were absolutely fine at Andy's, although we didn't get a chance to use the hot tub (we just never had time!) Can also note it was a 5-10 minute walk to both Ohakune center and the junction, and the ski shuttle leaves from the end of his street, maybe 3 minutes away so very convenient for us.
Couldn't speak more highly of Andy or his home, would definitely recommend staying here for anyone planning a trip to Ohakune.
