18A Matai Street, Ohakune, Ruapehu

Great entry level chalet

Set in a unique cluster of former staff quarters originally built for workers at Turoa Skifield, this character-filled alpine unit offers a rare opportunity in the heart of Ohakune.

Perfectly suited as lock-up-and-leave accommodation for couples or a small family, these units are practical, low-maintenance, and ideally positioned for both seasonal escapes and year-round enjoyment. Unit 18A holds a special place in the complex as the largest of the group, originally serving as the communal lounge and relaxation space for the staff quarters. As such, it enjoys a more generous footprint, extra flexibility in layout, and an inviting sense of space.

Thoughtfully enhanced by the current owners, the home now features a warm and welcoming fireplace, complementing its natural alpine character. A sauna adds a luxurious après-ski touch, while additional sleeping space provides excellent versatility for guests or extended family. Framed by great mountain views, the setting captures the essence of Ruapehu living.

Tastefully decorated in timeless alpine style, this is a property that balances nostalgia with comfort and functionality. This is an easy, ready-to-enjoy base in a highly sought-after mountain location.
