    Any Ruapehu ski bums out there,I’m interested in obtaining a ski chalet in Ohakune;is there a high demand for the economy end of the holiday market.What rules and regs need to be adhered to.
    Is insurance an expensive cost?
    Thanks

    Hi Ritch,

    Yes, indeed, Ruapehu was where I learned to ski, pashed a spunky ski-instructor or two by the fireplace at the Chateau, ate the worlds cheesiest pizza at the powderkeg, (where Orlando and Viggo stayed while filming Mordor scenes on Ruapehu) – rocked out at the Hot Lava in various bands..tramped up to the crater at the summit…such an awesome awesome place…ah memories!

    re: rental market, best is to touch base with as many local rental managers as there are. not just to get a good idea of the rental sitch but to vibe who’s gonna manage for you when you buy.
    ditto the questions about rules and regs.
    Insurance – my houses cost around 300 bucks a year to insure, but they are cheaper houses than in Ohakune, but just get an idea from an insurance broker, I can give you the details of my one in NZ, if you want, email me.

    I suppose if you are renting furnished as for holiday rentals there may be extra insurance and management issues.

    cheers-
    Mini
