Stunning Views, Warm, Central & Quiet Little Hill Biking, Skiing, Tramping +more

Facing the sun with stunning view of Mount Ruapehu this is a very warm and spacious home in a Central and Quiet Family friendly location only a short lovely 10 min Nature walk to town with its shops, cafes, restaurants etc.
A 3 minute walk to a Summer swimming hole in the river.

Only a short drive to all nearby activities of Skiing at Turoa or Whakapapa ski fields, Tramping / hiking - ex. the Tongariro Crossing, Mountain Biking - ex. The Bridge to Nowhere trail, Kayaking & Jet Boating on the Whanganui river, and more.

If you are looking for lots of space, you’ve found it! Large open plan living with Lots of space for everyone – a very large kitchen, dining table and 2 Lounge areas.

If you like to keep warm and cozy, this is it! Our home is modern, insulated with double glazed windows, heaters & electric blankets in the bedrooms, and a fireplace in the living area so is very comfortable and warm in winter - most days the warmth from the fire and the sun keeps the whole house nice and warm even without the heaters.

If you love sunny decks and summer BBQ’s – it’s all here - A great wrap around deck facing the sun all day with a BBQ for Summer outdoor living.

There's a lockable shed to store your bikes or any other equipment you bring along.

Great Place for Family(s) Vacations!

The Area: Little Hill is in a very quiet neighborhood with a few upscale homes, and lots of green, open space around our home. Only a short 10 min walk into town, or a 30 min walk to the Carrot park playground along a lovely path through native bush.

Turoa ski field and National Park are only a 25 min drive away, another 20 min and you are at the Tongariro crossing, the Chateau and Whakapapa ski field.

There are lots of options for awesome mountain biking ex. The Old Coach Road, The Bridge to Nowhere, Mangawhero River Ride, Rangatau Forest and many more.
Endless number of scenic trails for tramping in the area - and/or if you want to enjoy the water there is Jet Boating, Kayaking or Jet skiing on the Whanganui River.

Our caretaker lives in Ohakune and is only a phone call away should you need any assistance. We are also available via phone or email in case you have questions etc.

We do provide Pillows, Duvets with covers, bath mats and tea towels, toilet paper & soap, but not Linen (sheets & towels) Please bring your own - or we can provided these at an additional charge of $20/bed if you just let us know when booking or before arrival.

Large warm house
We had three adults and two kids (3.5 and 7) stay for four nights in Autumn. We loved all the space and the toy box was an unexpected bonus for the three year old. Very well appointed property, would stay again.

Warm spacious accommodation with stunning views
When we arrived we were gobsmacked by the size of the living/dining/kitchen area. It's huge! And all these rooms have spectacular views of Ruapehu. And the place stays incredibly warm. In fact, we had to draw the curtains to keep the sun out as it was too warm -- in the middle of July! Having four bedrooms and two bathrooms meant our party of six had ample space. The kitchen was equipped with everything you could imagine -- apart from a teapot.

magic spot
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had extended family joining us and the space was just perfect for all of the people that we had. We had a minor issue when I couldn't find something but Lena's communication was exceptional and the matter was resolved quickly. They house is super warm and is very well equipped with everything you need. We would love to stay again but might be a bit big for our family of 4.

Family house
We had a good time in this house. It had everything needed for two families. The house is very spacious, and since we spent a lot of time inside, the children also had plenty to keep them entertained. Excellent communication with the owner of the house, who was willing to accommodate us when we were planning to stay an extra day. Highly recommended."
