DAS Ski Lodge - Instant Classic Kiwi Ski Bach

Chilled-out place in a quiet little village — super peaceful and comfortable. Only 30 mins to Turoa and 45 mins to Whakapapa, so it’s a great base if you’re heading up the mountain. Great value and perfect for a relaxed trip!

Good vibe to stay with a group of friend

Location was good but the property was very diety and the Rooms was messy

It was a great place a a mountain adventure. Everything we needed worked: the shower was hot, the place was warm and it has a convenient location.

Perfect quality/price ratio, we had a real good time in Das Ski Lodge .

We held our family gathering (6 youths and 6 adults) here last December, and it was the best budget-friendly accommodation I could find in the area. Overall, our stay was wonderful and enjoyable. We had a comfortable, peaceful, and relaxing time.In my opinion, some of the previous reviews are not doing it justice. I saw several complaints about cleanliness, but when we visited, it was adequate for a property like this. The furniture, exterior, and interior are not modern or vibrant, but for the price, everything was more than sufficient and met all our needs.The house is small, yet it had everything we needed: 3 bedrooms, plenty of beds, 2 bathrooms, hot water, electric cooking plates and oven, TV, electric heaters, and a conventional fireplace. The kitchen had all essential utilities, and also some spices, as well as sugar and tea.A basketball court, fuel station, and small grocery shop are conveniently nearby. Ohakune, a charming small town with various attractions and indoor/outdoor activities, is just 10 minutes away.Here are a few tips for future visitors:Oven Use: Make sure to set the clock first to get the oven working.Instruction Leaflet: Check out the instructions leaflet on the notice board. It contains useful information, such as how to find wood for the fireplace.

Warm and cosy, beautiful frienly town

Good

Just right for what we wanted, Very friendly town, Enjoyed staying here and may book it again next year. Very fair price. Many Thanks

Hi Alice, I’m providing some feedback as requested. While it’s much appreciated that accommodation like the Raetihi bach is available at low cost, and a more basic standard is expected for the price, there were a few issues. The bach was quite dirty when we arrived. We’ve left it cleaner than when we arrived, but providing some cleaning products (cloths, toilet cleaner, gloves, etc) would help future people with this. More concerning was a safety issue. The smoke alarm was left on the table and the battery was taken out, so probably expired. Also there were no batteries in any of the remote controls. Also the oven didn’t work as far as we could work out. Other items include that there was a coffee press with no plunger, and the bottom tread of the steps to the carport was very dangerous. In short, we think the bach needs a check and a good clean before the next people come in.

Nothing flash but an affordable base to cook and sleep while pursuing outdoor adventure during the day.

Positives: It's peaceful and perfect location. Worth for the price. Negatives: A bit of more cleaning required. BBQ grill is rusted and not in use condition.

It’ was okay house. Price was reasonable. Got what I paid for so didn’t expected anything fancy. Had a good couple of nights with my big family. Close to skiing field and shops. Definitely recommend if you looking for something cheap and close to skiing..
