Leanne 
“Lovely accommodation.”
Good value for money. We were staying in the main bedroom as a couple and we're only provided with 1 bath towel and 1 hand towel. We had to get a really small bath towel from the bedroom with the bunk beds, BUT NO HAND Towel there. The pillows in the main bedroom were so so thin and there was only 1 extra pillow in the cupboard. I had to get another pillow the next morning from the bunk bed room. Bad organisation. I couldn't disturb the person in the bunk bed room during the night for the extra ...

Carole “We really liked the spacious feel of the property.”
It was well equipped and we were very comfortable there. There was some minor staining on sofas and bed coverlets, but we appreciate this is inevitable with general wear and tear. We thought the development itself was very attractive and had been thoughtfully laid out, with full privacy assured thanks to the careful planting of trees and shrubs.
- Carole, July 2024Lydia “Great location.”
Would be good if there was numbers on the yurt so we knew which one was number 3. There was no dishwashing powder and very small amount of handy towels for cleaning. More bin liners would have been handy. Rubbish left from previous guests.
- Lydia, October 2022Emma “Excellent quality holiday home.”
Very warm, comfortable, and clean. Would recommend.
- Emma, October 2022Anne “The wifi was not very impressive however it was not a buggy.”
What rather took the gloss off the stay was the noise from the next door yurt that lasted until after 3.00am! Very loud music and shouting I did not feel comfortable going face to face as they sounded stoned/drunk. I felt very much powerless - at home I would have rung the Council Noise Control who are available 24/7 and do take action
- Anne, September 2022Czarina “Everything was amazing apart from the hot water.”
.not even the first person that showered had hot water. But it was such a cool place to stay in. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was complete, bathrooms were pristine. Would come back for sure
- Czarina, August 2022James “A great modern yurt cottage and with an awesome drying room.”
Undercover ski storage would be a bonus.
- James, July 2022Kelly “Really enjoyed our stay at the Snow Globe, nice and warm as heat pump was on when we arrived.”
Plenty of extra blankets. Lovely kitchen items. Beds are comfortable enough. Lovely shower. Remember to take your own milk and condiments as Only Coffee tea and sugar supplied. A rail on the steps up to the house would be ideal for those people that need support, especially the elderly or when slippery. We had trouble finding the right Yurt as we arrived at night and there was no number or letter box that we could see, a neighbour had to point us in the right direction. Overall nice accommodation thankyou.
- Kelly, June 2022Rochelle “The Yurt itself was absolutely amazing, we loved it!”
Super spacious, tidy and everything you could need. Unfortunately, two months after we booked it we were advised we would need to pay a $750 bond for the weekend as there was an event on. By this time there was no other accommodation left in Ohakune so we had no choice but to pay it. 11 days after checkout I have finally received the bond back on my card. As much as we loved this accommodation, we will no longer be using bachcare because of this.

- Kat, January 2022Matt “We had a great stay at the yurt.”
it is great being in a round house, and was lovely and warm on cold evenings. Also great to see the view of the mountain when the clouds went away!
- Matt, September 2021Danika “Was an amazing place to stay, all my friends loved it.”
Such a good space to hangout plus have your own chill time.
- Danika, September 2021Kelly “An amazing property.”
So warm and cosy for a winter ski trip. Had everything we could ever need! Loved the large living area for socialising. The kitchen was stocked with everything to make a scrumptious meal. The.instructions and guides everywhere were very helpful. The beds are comfy and there were extra blankets provided. The shower pressure is perfect, especially after a big day of skiing - 10/10 recommend to anyone and plan to stay again in future!
- Kelly, July 2021Kat “Fantastic holiday home winter or summer.”
We loved the wooden smell as we walked in, the high ceilings, smart design and feeling of home. All the games for the kids, the cleanliness of the house and the feeling of luxury was all we could ask. As for the view of the mountains with a glass of wine, after a hard day's tramp..not bad at all!
- Kat, January 2021Perry “Great location with cracker views of the mountain.”
Very spacious accommodation, even for 6 of us.
- Perry, December 2020Molly “We had a fantastic stay here.”
The kitchen was fully equiped, the beds were comfortable and it had a great heating system. Amazing views of the mountain from the deck. Would definitely recommend!
- Molly, September 2020Aman “The best place to stay in Ohakune.”
