Phillip 
“What an awesome base for our weekend adventures.”
Plenty of space for everyone, kids loved the upstairs space as it allowed them to hang out away from the adults. The spa was appreciated on the colder days. Thanks for an amazing stay!

We had very bad exprience with this place,it was very cold,the heaters on the wall are no good they dont produce any heat,the heater in one of the bedrroms dosent work,there is a fire place but the place is big it dosent heat the whole house,we had to sleep with or close on by the fire on the couch and once we a sleep the fire died,so hardly had any sleep, The stove has not much power it takes loong time to cook eggs
- Burim, August 2022Thank you for your feedback and our sincere apologies that you were cold as the fireplace is usually such an efficient heat source that the heaters are not required. Bachcare
LIANNE “Firstly, we mistakenly left a (flat) queen sheet (blue colour) on the first bedroom bed downstairs.”
No-one has contacted us to arrange its return. Secondly; a. The oven had a filthy pan inside that we didn't know was there until we had turned the oven on and it had heated up, filling the home with thick, acrid, choking smoke. The oven was in any event very dirty and the stove top not much better. Each time we used it the home filled with the same aforementioned smoke and we were forced to open the windows and doors when it was extremely cold outside. Also the toaster top was full of old crumbs, not been wiped for ages. b. The second bedroom downstairs had a broken heater so could not be warmed up, and it was so freezing cold it could not be used. The owner/cleaner/Bachcare knew about this because it was the only heater that was found unplugged and not switched on and warming the room when we arrived. c. The spa is very old and 3 headrests were missing. The lower wooden step broke and a wooden slat with large rusted nails that fell from it could have caused significant injury had the rungs collapsed inwards. The mechanism used to remove and replace the spa cover/lid was also broken and hubby almost injured his back one day when trying to remove it so we could spa. d. The spa service person arrived to clean the spa a day after our arrival. e. The spa is not private and anyone in the area or driving past can and does see what you're doing while using it. f. One of two of the outdoor chairs (foldable) had broken plastic slats, hubby sat on it and got his bottom pinched. g. Showers (x 2) could not deliver a decent and proper wash as the roses are installed far too low to the ground. Hair washing for any normal sized adult is impossible, so, had very dirty hair all round by the time we checked out after staying 5 nights. h. Batteries in the downstairs t.v. remote were flat. Will probably not used Bachcare again. Sent them numerous e-mails about some of the above issues and received NO reply. Being ignored and having your valid concerns dismissed is the height of rudeness especially when you've paid a premium for accommodation that isn't top class.
- LIANNE, July 2022Thank you so much for taking the time to review your stay with us. We do apologise for the broken items which the owner is addressing and the cleaning issues are now resolved. Bachcare
Rhys “Great spot for the summer too, not just the winter.”
- Rhys, December 2021Logan “A fantastic place for a family to stay.”
The upstairs area presented a great space for kids to hang out away from the adults and the fire was awesome. Fantastic amenities, great communication with the property manager and the Spa was well used - awesome end to a days skiing. Would definitely recommend this place for people visiting Ohakune.
- Logan, July 2021Rodger “Clean, good water pressure, great to sit in front of the fire on cool evenings, plenty to do nearby and good places to eat.”
Climbing wall a MUST DO.
- Rodger, December 2020Robert “Didn't actually stay there myself, but members of my family did (family gathering in Ohakune) and they were happy with the facilities and enjoyed the spa.”
- Robert, September 2020Rachael “Very nice house and with the fire place kept us all really warm on the minus degree nights.”
. spa was great and just all around a nice home to stay in.
- Rachael, August 2020Diego “This a nice, well kept, clean and cosy house; well located, close to town and to a ski centre.”
The central fireplace is great as well as the spa.
- Diego, July 2020Ellie “This lovely easy to find accommodation was perfect for our group of 8.”
Loved the hanging dry racks. No complaints at all.
- Ellie, March 2020Peter “Great place.”
Setup very well for families. Good location. Recommend
- Peter, December 2019Rob “Highly recommend this property.”
Great upstairs space for kids, 2 bathrooms & showers, awesome spa pool. A perfect set-up for snow fun at Ruapehu.
- Rob, October 2019John “Blue Bird Chalet is a wonderful place to stay for family or friends to relax and enjoy the area.”
It is well appointed, tidy and the kitchen has everything you need to a short or medium stay.
- John, September 2019Anna and Dion (Van Der Hulst) “Bluebird is a fantastic home base for a ski trip and Jo from Bachcare is lovely”
- Anna and Dion (Van Der Hulst), September 2019Jenine “Everything you need for a ski holiday.”
Comfy beds. We loved the spa pool and drying racks. Lots of games etc for kids.
- Jenine, September 2019megan “Great house with good location.”
Very very warm which is a must in winter. With the style of house, I would recommend earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Equipped with the essentials however we didn't have a lot of toilet so we just got some on the second day. No biggy. Lots of friendly neighbors around so It felt safe too.
- megan, August 2019Thanks for your feedback. Yes the beds are quite close together so earplugs maybe a good idea! Sorry that you ran out of amenities before the end of your stay. Bachcare

All guests should take care when accessing the loft as this area is accessed via a ship ladder staircase with alternating treads
Please note, there is a small separate dwelling at the rear of the section that may occasionally be occupied by the owners.
As the mezzanine barrier is below 1 metre high, all guests should take care in this area due to the risk of falls.
Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.About the location
