A great stay!
Fantastic location for a stay in National Park and to access Whakapapa ski resort. Accommodation was a home from home and the fire made all the difference. A very short, easy walk to the pub too. Book in confidence.

Great cottage
Jann’s property was a wonderful place to relax and recover from the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. The views were beautiful, sitting out on the deck was so relaxing and peaceful. We very much enjoyed staying here and can’t thank you enough for the opportunity 😊

Everything you need
Perfectly sized, warm and well-kitted-out cottage for a couple of days exploring the central plateau. Put the kids in the bunk room, with M&D in the queen. It is a short walk to Roy Turner Memorial Playground, local 4 Square, and local eateries. Try Amy-Jades yellow coffee cart outside Schnapps for your morning fix. Will keep on our list for future visits.

Perfect ski break stay
Great option for a family wanting to explore National park. The house offers every thing you need. Just be warned if the fire station alarm sounds, it’s very loud as it is right across the road.

very cosy cottage
the cottage is very close to Whakapapa ski field, and not too far to go to Turoa ski field at Ohakune, or Raetihi to visit the Dinosaur House for budding paleontologists. we found the cottage very comfy, with a wood fire to keep the chill away, with everything tidy and beds comfy too

Cosy warm home for our whole family. It was a home away from home for us, clean, warm, kitchen supplies were well stocked, drying room was a bonus, the fire was ready to light and a beautiful location close to the four square and shuttles. Easy to communicate with host, we would definitely bring our family back here.
