Stayed here for a weekend trip to the mountain. Well equipped house with fireplace, basic kitchen necessities, decent sized rooms and a drying room! Also the location is great, easy to get to the nearby gear hire place and a short drive to the mountain. Great for us overall!

Great place!

They place was wonderfully comfortable. All the bed were very comfy, all with electric blankets. The place was warm with the fire. It had everything we needed and we very much enjoyed our stay. Would definitely stay there again. The drying room was particularly welcome after the rainy hike we had on our first day.

Perfect for a trip to the mountain.

This was the perfect place to be based for any activity around National Park. Accommodated our 3 families easily. Loved the kitchen, fireplace and lounge area for chilling out and laughing. Gas water shower bonus after the Tongariro crossing. Would stay again.
