We had a great stay over the New Year holidays. Great location as it is close to National Park and we had enjoyed our walks in the area. Cottage is warm and cosy and has the basic facilities.

This was the perfect size for the two of us to be cozy but not cramped as the ski slopes were all closed. We had everything we needed and the cell reception was good

Cosy little place for ski weekends when all you need is a place to rest your head and dry your gear ready for the next day

Great little cottage, close to national park. Very helpful host who arranged replacement of small appliance that broke within a few hours. Having a washing machine, dryer and drying room is very useful. Army museum is great for kids on a rainy day.

This gorgeous wee cabin was quite nostalgic for me. It had everything we needed to keep warm, well fed and rested following epic days at the snow.
I really appreciate the laundry facilities, the location and the affordability which make beautiful snow adventures accessible. Our host Julie also gave very clear expectations and comprehensive information about the bach and surrounding areas.
We look forward to staying here again.

This was my second stay and it was perfect, we did the Tongariro crossing and the homes location to national park and surrounding walks and activities makes it the perfect option if you want something cheap. For the price it’s what you expect. It’s no luxury hotel but it has more then enough for what you pay for

It's a good value cottage in a good location just a few minutes from National Park and close to Whakapapa. It could do with a good spring clean, but you can't argue the price. Previous guests could've done more to clean like empty the bins properly, but overall would recommend and the description was accurate! Thanks for having us.

What a lovely wee place. Raurimu was more interesting than we thought. 4 Square at National Parkjust 10 minutes away for anything that we had forgotten and ice, mountain only a half hour drive. Great cell phone reception. couldn't get the tv to work though.

I would have appreciated knowing about the "no cleaners" policy and the outside "washroom" prior to booking.

Great location, very cute and cosy little place. We really enjoyed our stay, only things that didn't work was the tv (the channels wasn't working) and the big heater. I did also notice that after/during having a shower the water would accumulate at the bottom of the shower and wouldn't drain straight away and sometimes it would fill up so much that it would nearly overflow onto the ground but other than that everything was great. Thanks!
