Everything we needed and more.
We loved staying at the Barracks, it had everything we needed and more than we expected, and was an excellent base for the Bike Trails. The mountain view was exceptional and the place was so comfortable when the rain set in and we could lounge about reading. Thank you Janet for sharing your Bach with us, we will be back.

Excellent Family Option
Very happy with this accommodation for our short family ski getaway during the school hols. Property was spacious, warm and had everything we needed. Access was easy and communication with the manager was second-to-none. Extremely good value, and highly recommended for a group/family who don't mind being a short drive out of the thick of things in Ohakune. One star dropped for cleanliness only due to the previous tenants not quite leaving it to the requested standard, but nothing we couldn't immediately rectify ourselves.

Perfect Home base
Beautiful little place with such a comforting home feel. The lounge was a cozy hangout spot for us, and the rooms gave nice privacy when we just wanted to chill out alone. A lot of what we needed was provided, including duvets, cleaning supplies and basic kitchen equipment, so this saved us having to bring it which is great. The host was so gracious when we had a last minute change of dates and her communication was amazing. We loved how quiet the area was if anyone is looking to get away from the noise of their own city. We’d love to stay longer next time and explore the area more! Ps. The DVD collection is on the shelf behind the TV. Which we didn’t discover until we were leaving 😅

Home away from home comfort
We love the Barracks as we've been staying for years and it's just always felt good. It's a great location to unwind and relax with the awesome mountain view and laid back rural town. A short bike ride into town and to some great child friendly bike tracks. A scenic but not long drive to Ohakune too. We'll keep coming back!
