A short history
Number 44 Burns Street is a traditional timber home built around 1910, set on generous grounds in a semi-rural location. From the gardens, you’ll hear the Mangawhero and Mangateitei rivers flowing past, with Mt Ruapehu rising in the distance. For over a century, this residence has been a cherished family home. Since 2010, it has undergone continuous restoration and expansion, always with care to preserve its original charm and elegance.
Inspired by the rivers and mountain views, in 2018, Two Rivers Ohakune opened its doors to guests, blending heritage character with modern luxury.
A sustainable stay
Two Rivers holds a Qualmark Silver Award for sustainability, reflecting a commitment to care for people and place. From thoughtful design and careful waste reduction to working with local suppliers, Scott and Ula ensure your stay leaves a light footprint while still delivering comfort at the highest standard.
