Larry 
“Pillows REALLY need to be upgraded or suggest to bring own.”
Single cup coffee plunger too small for number of people property can accommodate. Made this comment last time so obviously not something that is going to change. Otherwise happy with rental and nice to have heaters turned on prior to arrival.

Alex “Awesome facility and close to the mountain.”
Cheers for the stay.
- Alex, September 2023Anthony “Was great to relax in the spa after a day on the mountain skiing.”
The house was clean and tidy We enjoyed the cosy fireplace, it warmed the house up fast! Great location, we would stay again.
- Anthony, September 2023Elizabeth “If you can find this house in the dark - no number or signpost from the road - and then make it through the deep puddle on the driveway, then you're sure to be disappointed.”
Dirty, full of cobwebs, old shabby furniture and a tiny kitchen. Would be hard to cook for 10 in that space but thankfully we ate out both nights. Heating wasn't on when we arrived so the house was freezing cold. The bathrooms are very basic with no heating. Bring slippers, hot water bottles and thermal layers. The hot tub wasn't clean either but at least it was switched on. The only good thing is the location - walking distance to the Powder Keg and The Kitchen restaurant and the right end of town for getting straight on the road up to Turoa in the morning. The price per night needs to drop considerably for this standard of accommodation to be acceptable.
- Elizabeth, August 2023Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry that you didn't enjoy your stay. We feel that the photos on the listing clearly indicate kitchen size and what furniture to expect. This is not a 5 star accommodation but is family friendly, comfortable and warm, with heaters in every room and a fireplace and heat transfer system that heats up the house in 10 mins if you light the fire. Unfortunately, the situation with the street lighting is largely out of our control, as is the pothole at the entrance to the driveway. These issues have been flagged with the city council. The cleaning team found the Spa to be crystal clean the day after you left, but there were some small pebbles in the bottom from foot traffic - apologies for this. Bachcare
Helen “When we arrived the place was dirty, we cleaned it.”
The spa was dirty too - very disappointing, full of sand and green algae stuff came out of jets. There was a note to say the woodbox needed to be refilled on departure. There was a combo lock with no code. Woodbox was quarter full when we arrived. Had to ring to get code, 2nd phone call we got a response. The property was immaculate when we left - feel need to be reinbursed for cleaning fee. Facility is great but needs instructions
- Helen, July 2023Thank you for your review Helen. The spa is serviced professionally and the jets are also on an automatic cycle that rinse through the filters, so we are not sure how there is green algae present. We have never had a guest say the property was dirty - our owners were devastated to receive a negative review to that effect. We are working with the property manager to have a look deeper into this. We appreciate your constructive feedback on the instruction booklet, and agree that we need more instructions at the property, and this is underway, the main instruction booklet appears to have gone missing.

Lynda “It was perfect for our group and doing the Crossing”
- Lynda, March 2023Larry “Really enjoyed our stay.”
Lots of good points, especially the comfy bed in single room. Best to upgrade the single cup coffee plunger to a family size! Lounge seating getting bit soft in the sqaubs. Please repair wooden deck chair. Will likely try and book again when the need arises.
- Larry, February 2023Anna “Kia ora Absolutely loved The Station.”
Perfect location and perfect place. Fantastic time with beautiful mountain bush and rivers etc. Facilities were great and we especially appreciated the working spa pool. So lovely to come back to each day. Really nothing but positive feedback from us. All very easy. Tiny comments just in case they are helpful - might be good to have some guidance or instructions in the home - for using things like spa, rubbish (which is rubbish day and what to do with it) or locking up when you leave or anything you would find helpful for guests to get right. An external wheelie bin or other bin for bags prior to rubbish day may be helpful to minimise them being ripped up in between. Also - washing line maybe? Those are mere suggestions - we very much loved your house. Ngā mihi nui Anna
- Anna, December 2022Gabriel “Lovely home and amenities was fantastic.”
The spa pool was so so enjoyable.
- Gabriel, December 2022Pubudini “Everything was good except there was no dishwasher and the spa pool was not warm enough.”
The spa pool was very cold the temperature was 31 C and we could not increase it. And there was some sand in it too. Only one rubbish bag was provided and it was not enough for 3 nights. Thanks for the awesome heating in all the rooms, loved it.
- Pubudini, July 2022Maurene “We had a fabulous family break very close to everything, the property was great ...”
We had a fabulous family break very close to everything, the property was great with plenty of room, would recommend it especially for a large family
- Maurene, July 2022Joanna “The Station was a charming place to stay - we loved that the house had been converted from a rail station, which gives it a lot of character.”
It was a great size for our 2 combined families and was in a good location, close to the Ohakune village but still nice and quiet. The spa pool was a big hit with everyone. We would stay here again :)
- Joanna, January 2022Kirsty “A great character building sitting on the edge of a public green space -which was much loved by our dog.”
We had our summer holiday here and it was a great base for our extended family to explore the mountain and go mountain biking. The spa pool was really appreciated at the end of the day. 6 double beds plus singles meant there weren't too many arguments and the bathroom facilities were plenty for our group. The huge table was a great place for after dinner games.
- Kirsty, January 2022Hilary “Lovely place to stay in the summer with a great outdoor area”
- Hilary, December 2021Sue “Great place to stay if you're holidaying with a large family or group of friends.”
Close to all amenities.
- Sue, August 2021Yara “Such a cool place and perfect for a group of friends.”
Super warm and would definitely book it again next time we are in Ohakune
- Yara, June 2021Cheryl “Perfect home for the larger family, spa pool is huge and was a highlight for everyone.”
Close to the train station and 30mins walk to town/ playground. Would definitely book again üòä
- Cheryl, April 2021Kirsty “Great location next to the reserve and easy walking distance to Cafe and restaurants.”
The house was clean, but not too fancy - the fire kept us toasty, with room for two families to spend time together. Afternoon sun on the deck and spa topped off the stay.

The property
With enough room for two families, and a log burner to keep everyone nice and cosy, The Station is an ideal space to host your next break in Ohakune. Tucked away up a long driveway in a peaceful location, this beautiful homestead is a step back in time. The Station is thoughtfully designed to accommodate large families and styled for comfort to ensure everyone can relax at the end of the day’s mountain adventures. This holiday home features an open-plan living space with a large couch just waiting for you and your book, or Wi-fi is available for all you tech lovers. When the family and friends gather together, everyone can be part of the conversation, or get a good view of the TV on movie night, with a Chromecast for all your streaming needs. Spark up the wood-burning fireplace to get the house nice and toasty and settle in for a cozy night. A small kitchen provides all the basics for a self-catered Ohakune stay, and a porch down the full length of the house offers a sheltered spot to enjoy a hot cuppa on a crisp morning. Four bedrooms and two bathrooms here at The Station offer enough space and convenience for up to 10 guests. The bedding configurations lend themselves well to two families with kids of any age, and a separate shower and toilet in one of the bathrooms means no queues at either end of the day! Enjoy action-packed days on the slopes of Turoa, just 20 minutes drive from The Station, or get out and explore the cycle trails in the area. On days when you need a rest, take a short three-minute drive into the village and visit the shops, cafes, restaurants, and bars. For a fun-filled and cosy mountain escape, The Station in Ohakune has you covered!
