La Maison Pain d'Épices - Ohakune

Perfect for a family getaway or a ski trip with friends, this simply gorgeous Ohakune home enjoys lovely mountain views and will transport you right into a snowy fairytale! Welcome to The Gingerbread House!

It really is all in the name at this three-bedroom beauty, where the European ski chalet meets that warm fuzzy feeling you get at Christmas. But don’t let its cute exterior fool you, for a sweet snow re"treat" awaits indoors!

With an abundance of picture windows and skylights, The Gingerbread House offers sundrenched living on its second storey. Light the wood burning fireplace after a day on the mountain, fill the place with toasty warmth, and snuggle up on the couch. You’ll have a Smart TV and DVD player on hand for entertainment, and complimentary WIFI so you can post photos of your epic day on the powder.

On a summer getaway to check out the biking and hiking scene, open the sliding glass door and soak up the sun on the deck. Enjoy a morning barista style coffee from your fully equipped kitchen with the breeze blowing on your face.

Three bedrooms here at The Gingerbread House comfortably sleep up to six guests. A bathroom and laundry combo, with the convenience of a separate toilet, completes the set up for your stay. There’s even a drying room for your ski gear at the end of the day!

Tucked away on a quiet street with a grassy reserve across the road, The Gingerbread House is a great place to holiday in itself, but we know you must be in town for at least a bit of adventure! Enjoy action-packed days on the slopes of Turoa, just 20 minutes drive away, or make the trip to Whakapapa in just under an hour.

On days when you need a rest, take a short three-minute drive into the village and visit the shops, cafes, restaurants, and bars, or walk to the Powderkeg in about the same time.

For a cosy stay in a home packed with novelty charm, The Gingerbread House awaits!
