Thomas 
“Awesome accommodation !”
- Thomas, June 2023 -
Emma “I can’t recommend this property highly enough!”
The place was beautifully clean, and incredibly well equipped. The high ceilings and large size rooms were a nice surprise for us all, and we enjoyed the wide variety of inside and outside games that were available for use. The open plan living and three bathrooms make it an ideal spot for groups. We had a marvellous stay and definitely hope to return in the future.
- Emma, December 2022Fiona “We loved this house.”
It was super comfortable and made for a wonderful family holiday. We would like to stay again but would need to see some changes before we did so. We would not book the house without a working BBQ - We had issues with an unuseable BBQ when we arrived and were told that the BBQ is going to be removed from this holiday home -Dumb idea, just please buy a new BBQ for this property - It sleeps 10, and kiwi's love to BBQ to feed a crowd. The house needs a new fridge!!! it doesnt keep food cold enough. we had to throw out 2x 2litre bottles of milk that went off and curdled because of not being kept cold enough (we turned fridge up as high as we could). also it made our blue cheese go slimy and rotten and the freezer in 4 days still could not freeze a loaf of bread. The shower down the hall is unuseable due to rediculouly low pressure. Please fix or remove. Some maintenance required eg lawn mowing, lightbulb replacements and broken light shade in dining room (glass so dangerous).
- Fiona, December 2022Benjamin “Our stay at The Lazy Carrot can't be faulted at all.”
The place was clean and tidy, plenty warm enough and by far exceeded our expectations. Big thanks to the owners for providing such a great experience, and to the property manager who was incredibly friendly and accommodating. Will be trying to book again next year without a doubt!
- Benjamin, June 2022Satish “Awesome holiday home.”
Was clean and had all the essential supplies. Had heaps of board games and puzzles to enjoy quality time with family. Kids loved them. This holiday home has extremely friendly neighbours; we were offered fresh apples and pears from their gardens.
- Satish, April 2022Sharmaine “The Lazy Carrot is a great place to stay, perfect for families with four lovely bedrooms and three bathrooms.”
The owners have thought of everything to ensure you are well catered for including an array of toys and boardgames. The woodburner was great on chilly nights and the outdoor fire was another awesome place to gather in the evenings. I highly recommend the Lazy Carrot and looking forward to the next stay.

The property
Cosy in winter and boasting great outdoor living for a summer stay, spend your next getaway at the Lazy Carrot; a relaxing and quirky retreat set up perfectly for the whole family! You’ll love this homely base for your Ohakune adventures. Beautifully presented with a colourful interior and comfortable furnishings, you'll have no trouble snuggling up after a day on the slopes with the heat pump and wood burning fireplace offering toasty warmth. Entertain yourselves with the fantastic range of books and board games, or switch on the TV with both Sky and Apple TV and just hunker down in the welcoming open-plan living area. There's even complimentary WiFi to share your best snaps from up the mountain. During summer stays there's a fabulous outdoor living area complete with a BBQ and fireplace. Grab a drink and dine alfresco under the sunshine as the kids have a ball on the lush lawn. 4 bedrooms here at The Lazy Carrot comfortably sleep up to 10 guests. Having three bathrooms will be a real bonus at either end of the day, as will the laundry when it comes to getting your gear dry after you come down from the mountain. Wake in the morning to a fresh coffee from the Nespresso machine and head outside to check out the conditions from the beautifully landscaped gardens. On a bluebird day, head to the slopes at Turoa Ski Field a 21-minute drive away, or hit up the powder at Whakapapa Ski Field just 37 minutes away. There are some great family friendly activities nearby, including the famous Ohakune Carrot Park just two minutes from your home away from home. On a rainy day, check out Ohakune Rock Climbing for some indoor fun. The central North Island boasts some great summer activities too, and The Lazy Carrot is in a prime spot to check them out. The Old Coach Road Bike Trail is only a short drive from The Lazy Carrot for some mountain biking fun, and the Tongariro National Park offers great hiking, including the world famous Tongariro Crossing. The local shops, cafes and restaurants are less than 10 minutes away on foot, or you can drive there in 2. And after a big day on the mountain, The Powderkeg is also a great place to unwind with a beverage and tasty meal, just three minutes away by car. Whether it be relaxation or a snowy adventure, The Lazy Carrot is calling your name!
The spa pool at this property is not available for use.
Guests should bring their own Nespresso compatible coffee pods to make use of the available machine.
