About the host
Hosted by Geraldine Healy
I am a school teacher and own this chalet in Ohakune which is my retreat from the busyness of work- love the walks in summer, they are varied and superb and adore the snow in the winter. I love tramping, hiking, bike riding and snowboarding- so this area is ideal!
Why they chose this property
The benefits of the central plateau in both winter and summer are amazing!! You really do get the best of both worlds.
What makes this property unique
Cosy, warm, good for small groups or families and as close to the mountain as you can get from Ohakune. A cosy compact chalet with views from the lounge window and front deck, up to the mountain. We are continually upgrading the chalet.
