Originally built for Alex Harvey for the Tūroa Skifield, this landmark lodge at 3 Karo Street carries a rare alpine legacy. Carefully maintained and comprehensively renovated by the current owners of over 20 years, it now presents as a beautifully refined and highly functional mountain retreat.
Offering 8 self-contained guest rooms, spa, sauna, plus manager’s accommodation, the property is designed for flexibility, lifestyle, and income potential. With Ohakune firmly established as a year-round growing tourism destination, this is a genuine opportunity to step into an established hospitality-style business or continue as a premium private lodge or large-scale family retreat.
The two distinct wings are seamlessly connected by a generous central lounge anchored by a large open-fire creating a warm and welcoming hub for guests and gatherings alike, a well-equipped designer kitchen and dining room. High ceilings and striking domed windows flood the interiors with natural light throughout the day, enhancing the lodge’s inviting alpine character.
Immaculately presented and mostly double glazed, the property combines charm with modern comfort, supported by full insulation throughout for year-round use.
Set on a generous site with reserve frontage, the lodge enjoys privacy, outlook, and a strong sense of space. Outdoor features include a large, covered carport, excellent off-street parking, and a partially fenced, character-filled setting. A substantial garden shed with a work bench provides superb storage for bikes, tools, and ski equipment.
Perfectly positioned within walking distance to town and close to Ohakune’s beloved Carrot Park, this is a rare offering that blends heritage, scale, and versatility - offering lifestyle, income potential, and a foothold in one of New Zealand’s most dynamic alpine tourism markets.
