Easy 10 out of 10. The property was well equiped, spacious and the view to the mountain was captivating. Hosts (and local cat) were friendly and checked to make sure everything was to our liking. We’d love to come back. Ohakune is such a nice little town with all the basics you could want or need.

There was nothing we didn't like. Everything was as expected on the booking, communication excellent, venue awesome. If you want a pet (which we didn't) or want to party (which we didn't) that would be the only draw back, because this is not allowed. But to be honest, that's why we booked it.

Being located in Ohakune was great as there is a good variety of stores, cafes, gas stations, restaurants and bars, along with a supermarket (New World). Ohakune is only 40 minutes drive from Whakapapa Village and 25 minutes from Turoa Ski fields. We had some of the largest and best kebabs at Mountain Kebabs which has been in the same hands for the last 30 years! I suggest just one regular for most, but if you have a large appetite, try the large, you won't be disappointed. Ohakune Hot tubs is also a nice place to unwind. Wood fired hots tubs for up to 4 people, but better shared with two in my opinion, but I'm larger than the average human. The house itself was modern, well equipped, very clean, and our host Ash was helpful to a fault. Loved the little touches like LED lights "Kia ora" and "Dream a little Dream" which you could unplug if keeping you awake. We did not get to use the outdoor setting due to being in winter, nor the BBQ but they were there if needed. Thanks again Ash, will recommend to our friends.

The house was lovingly set up for guests comfort. The heater was already on for our arrival making the house warm and cozy on arrival. The host reached out to make sure our stay was going well during our trip. This was a fantastic stay and would highly recommend booking. We will definitely book again on our next trip to Ohakune !

Nothing! Everything was perfect! We strongly recommend the property.

We felt like at home ! Every detail was thought to make us feel comfortable and welcomed. Ash is a great hostess replying promptly to our requests. Terrace is outstanding facing the volcano and fully equipped with nice furniture and a BBQ. Well above our expectations !

We had a really fantastic stay in this lovely little house. Totally amazing location with beautiful views of Mount Ruapehu. Such a warm and cosy house with the comfiest beds. Absolutely everything you could possibly need was provided. Great place to stay to explore the surrounding area. Ash, the host, was super helpful. We would definitely love to stay here again if we came back. P.s. you have to have a chocolate eclair from the famous Ohakune chocolate eclair shop!

This lovely house has everything you could expect to have/experience on a holiday, including a high standard of cleanness. It is perfect for families with children. Location is a short walking distance from the main road and the owner is very responsive and flexible.

It was just a bit difficult to cool the master bedroom with the one AC unit, but honestly that’s just us finding one thing to put in this box. We were very satisfied with our stay.

Spotlessly (five-star) clean and well appointed with towels, shampoo etc. plus lovely treats left by our very friendly host. Access to the washing machine was very much appreciated and our children loved the privacy of the loft after several hotel stays:).

Everything was amazing, we had a little isue with the shower towels, and Ash solve it at the moment

We loved the place, the views are amazing, and the hpuse is located really close to Ohakune center, but the real game changer is the attention to the details on the house. Everything that you need is already there. We'll love to come back

Beautiful view. Well equipped kitchen. Quiet neighborhood. So relaxing just sitting on the deck, coffee in hand, looking out at Mt Ruapehu. Very pleased with the accommodation

Nothing I can think of.

Nice friendly host, available if needed, but otherwise respectful of the space and privacy of the guests. Nice little snacks on arrival. The kitchen has absolutely everything you need. We made the mistake of buying salt and pepper and then found it in the pantry. Nice barbecue. Brilliant view on the maunga, when it wants to show itself! Easy biking area and good access to the mountain bike trails.

We are truly thankful for everything, we really enjoyed the house and it’s coziness combined with the incredible views. Thank you for your attention and hospitality!

Manuka Views is one of the best places we have stayed at. It was comfortable, homely and quiet, and the kids loved all the games and toys. It is very well equipped and I would highly recommend this place to anyone. We are already planning to return.

Lovely secluded setting, every facility you could need for a relaxing stay. Host was really helpful. The local shops were adequate for all our needs & the eclair shop is a must visit.

Not applicable - We liked everything here.

The host was very considerate and have turned on the heater for us before we arrive, thank you! The house is so clean, comfortable, all facilities are great. Kitchen wares/tools are impressively comprehensive. Love the high quality teas from the cabin and the chilly sauce in the fridge. There are great books and games that children will love. We had a very comfortable night staying here. I have been to many NZ motels/airbnbs, I would rank this as the top 2%. If I ever travel back to Tongariro again I will definitely choose this property again.

The view was amazing. The facilities were great as hot water was perfect, kitchen was fully decked out, the WiFi was really quick and had great connect. The decor was well homey and welcoming. The environment and location was perfect as the area is tranquil and peaceful with an amazing view to add to it all. The heater worked amazingly. Full Laundry. The location of the town is amazing too and very quant

Nothing, it was amazing

This place was perfectly set up. The coffee bar was well stocked, the beds were ridiculously comfy, the living room was so cozy and the hosts were so lovely! We had a beautiful view every morning, we were not far from the National Park and it was the best place to come home to. I look forward to staying here again.

leaving...

One of the best accom of this type I've had the pleasure to stay in. Warm, clean, comfortable with every amenity you could want even down to fresh condiments in the fridge. The downstairs bed I slept in was probably one of the best I've ever had... (what brand is it as I'd buy one for home in a flash)... other guest were equally complimentary about their beds. View to Ruapehu from lounge is epic!. Walking distance to restaurants. Quiet and private. Would be perfect for a family to stay. Only regret is we only stayed the one night as it would have been lovely to stay a while and relax and take advantage of the amenities and location. Host very friendly and helpful but also not intrusive in any way. Will definitely be back... planning on a summer visit as the deck looks amazing for a summers evening bbq.
