Great place to stay for large groups or families
This property is perfect for large groups or multiple families.
The David Fisken Lodge is situated between, but slightly closer, to Ohakune (10 mins) and National Park (20 mins).
It is also close to the Horopito end of the Old Coach Road cycle route.
Set on a large property so there's plenty of space for the kids to run around outside; set on roughly 1.5 acres.
Drying room - which could be used for bike storage during summer.
Beautiful views of Mt Ruapehu from driveway (see the photo).
Perfect place to use as a base to explore the area.
* Mobile coverage is variable inside, fairly consistent outside!

surrounding property by volunteers and any surplus goes towards a youth
group. Your help and support is appreciated.
NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);
