Disliked: Cleanliness
The place needed a deep cleaning. There was dead insects, hair in drawer with drinkware, bath floir looked unswept or cleaned, hair on floor. Walking barefoot left soles of feet dirty. We mopped ourselves. Washed dishes before using. Found somewhere else to stay after first night.

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
