Haven On Tau

The location was awesome, loved that it was in a quiet area, great amenities, everything was great!

Nothing!

I really loved how clean the place was and comfy. Maryanne and rob were really nice and friendly.

None, everything was perfect

Cleanliness and availability of appliances.

The bed was far too soft, internet was slow and would get disconnected sometimes

住宿在非常安静的小村庄里，从院子里可以看见鲁阿佩胡。屋子旁就有停车位，屋子非常整洁干净温馨，房东人很好，屋外设有户外烧烤炉和餐桌，烧烤炉烤肉非常好用，做饭和就餐都可以在小露台上，很好得和屋内区域隔开，屋里不会有做饭的味道。

一切都很好

We really liked how nice and clean and brand new looking this place was. Located in a quiet little village, very close to Tongariro National Park. We spent only one night there but it was very relaxing. I would happily come back again.

Nothing really bothered us, but maybe worth mentioning for others: - there's a train running nearby - can be noisy - no cooking inside - we used the barbecue and it worked great - mosquitoes, but they are everywhere anyway

Sehr gut geführte, sehr saubere Unterkunft, liebevoll eingerichtet. Auch die Terrasse mit dem Grill hat uns gut gefallen.

Die Entfernung von Ohakune beträgt etwa 10 Autominuten. Mit Mietwagen ist dies aber kein Problem.

Mega schönes Ambiente und hilfsbereite Vermieter. Fliegengitter am Fenster im Bad, viel Platz und noch eine Couch dabei. Ruhige Umgebung.

Wir wurden sehr nett von den Gastgebern empfangen und mit tollen Tipps versorgt. Die Unterkunft war geräumig und mit viel Liebe eingerichtet. Man fühlt sich sehr wohl.

It is a very comfortable private unit with a very comfortable bed and good space to relax in, inside and outside. Great welcome and everything clearly explained. Bathroom was great and the complimentary tea was my favorite Dilmah.

A great spot! We absolutely enjoyed our time there!

Nothing. Everything was great!

The apartment is clean and tidy and presents well. Tea, coffee and small chocolates as welcoming gifts were warmly received and it was nice to have toiletries available. Wifi worked well and the information about the local area, take out etc was a nice touch. Host was available on site if you needed anything.

I purposely waited before submitting my review as I wanted to give myself time to reflect. There were/are several elements of the stay and accommodation that I feel are nor represented in the host text and have not been addressed by others. I think for fairness and clarity they deserve to be stated here. Firstly, the property is not in Ohakune but 6km away meaning it is not possible to walk into town for a meal. This wouldn't be so much of a problem if there were adequate cooking facilities at the property, but there are not. A BBQ grill located outside is not really suitable especially if you happen to have food allergies and/or celiac and do not want to risk cross contamination. It also doesn't work so well if it is the cold and rainy as you don't want to stand outside cooking. Secondly, the restrictions placed on water usage, access to the property and what you can do inside the property make our stay feel like we were being held hostage to a set of rules we did not choose and could not do anything about. Being restricted to a 3 minute shower after a whole day hiking is not really acceptable, not flushing the toilet, again might be ok for some but didn't really feel like a 'superb' experience. On the whole we felt a little let down by whole experience. I acknowledge that these are personal preferences/experiences but they are a reflection of how we felt about our visit.

Amazing views and so well kitted out. It had everything you could possibly need for a little getaway.

A lovely weekend getaway spot that is well kitted out for being self sufficient when accessing the Tongariro National Park. The rural outlook with birdsong is so nice to enjoy and the host was very communicative and friendly, making sure we had what we needed. Super clean unit too, with thoughtful touches, e.g. hair dryer, lots of teas, bug spray.

The position of the sofa is not ideal for two people wanting to watch the TV head on, but it was comfortable anyway and a small thing. The bed was also not compatible with me, but this is such a personal thing and everything else was fantastic.

Beautiful property in a beautiful location with a friendly host.

Lovely unique accommodation. Very private, clean and Nothing to dislike nicely decorated interior with everything needed for self catering. It was good being out of the main town of Okuhane and a easy pleasant drive. Maryanne provided us with all info needed and a treat of freshly baked muffins on one cold bleak morning. Highly recommend.

Nothing to dislike.

Super comfortable bed. Friendly hosts. I was looking for somewhere quiet so I could sleep during the day after an event and the location was perfect.

Nothing

Warm welcome from our hosts, the unit is nicely decorated and well located nearby the moutain road to access very nice walks

Nothing

Very comfortable, well furnished, hosts are in the unit next door and very welcoming. 6 min drive to okahune town centre and about 50 mins to the national park. Nice little kitchenette well stocked with teas and coffee. Lots of nice little touches that make the place feel very homey. Good heat pump and additional heater for the main area and bathroom, so we never felt cold. Would highly recommend for anyone who is coming to explore the mountain or national park and has access to their own car.

Wifi was a bit patchy but hosts said this was getting fixed. Not a downside but just to be aware the place runs of tank water so guests will need to be careful with water use for showering.

Beautiful studio with everything you need. We used this as a base for hiking in Tongariro national park. The town was quiet with a stunning view of the mountains when the weather cleared.

Wonderful hosts and loved the personal details in the cabin. Easy ride into town

The little cottage has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. Maryanne and Rod thought of everything and more!

Nothing!

Maryanne was a great host. She has made the place very comfortable and added thoughtful touches like books and games. She was very friendly and helpful.

It was a little bit further out of town than we expected.

Very friendly host. Beautiful apartment with a lot of nice details such as a barbecue grill or coffee powder. Fast Wifi. Perfectly located for nice trails.

There is only one word to describe our stay, exceptional. Everything was perfect, i cannot fault a single thing. Amazing host, great amenities and high level of cleanliness. Thank you for having us!

Nothing

it was very clean and had everything we could need. no cook top and no cooking inside, however, the BBQ is undercover and we were able to do our cooking this way.

Nothing. It was great.

The place was set up so well and had all the items needed for our stay! Good communication leading up to our stay and easy to find. Very peaceful and quiet location which was great as that was what we were after!

It was so clean and nice. Great little area and private which was nice

Great stay a short 8min drive away from Ohakune. Perfect little unit that was spacious and suited the two of us perfectly. Beds was so comfy! Highly recommended! Excellent value for money :)

A way to cook inside the kitchen would be nice as a BBQ isn't a practical option. Otherwise there wasn't much we missed out on.

The views were immaculate, the neighbourhood was quiet and nice and peaceful! We will definitely be back in Ohakune town again

Having the fact we had to cook outside because of it being too cold

Very cozy, comfortable and well laid out. Couldn't have been any cleaner!

Close to railway line

My stay at Haven on Tau couldn't have been better. Christine met me when I arrived and explained everything I needed to know. I have ever possible amenity I could have needed and more. The indoor space was beautiful. I especially enjoyed the touches of art throughout. The outside space was great but because I arrived when the sun was getting lower, it was too hot for me to sit out there very long. I also wish I had brought something to grill for dinner! It's always helpful when a host provides a book with instructions and suggestions. Haven on Tau's book was fabulous. The bed was comfortable as was the couch I sat on while planning my next day. It was a great stay overall!

Such a Comfortable cozy bed. I didn't want to get up in the morning. Having Netflix is great as a solo traveller on a terribly rainy day. The place is warm and welcoming with lovely little touches around the place. I'd definitely stay again.
