One of the best places we’ve stayed at so far. We travelled from Auckland to Mt Ruapehu and all we wanted was a nice clean place to sleep at, and I’m so glad we booked this beautiful place. The house featured ammenities for all ages, from kids to adults. We stayed up till 4am enjoying all the amenities. The host was also very accommodating, he gave us extra time to check out. Absolutely loved the beautiful, quiet and safe location. For sure will book again.

Rick, Jo and the team that look after this property have done a good job to keep everything in ship-shape and ensuring that all holiday makers that stay here are comfortable and well looked after. There's a lot of stuff included with the stay including a pool table, table tennis, mountain bikes, spa pool, bbq etc. Not only that, the house is conveniently located near a countdown (about a 5min drive) where you can do your shopping top ups. Would love to have stayed longer if our schedules allowed to do so.

Fantastic family getaway

Fantastic family getaway

Amazing house in a great location. Comes with heaps of amenities and entertainment and we will defiantly come back. Some minor suggestions for improvement would be more kitchen crockery so not washing dishes or putting dishwasher on frequently, specifically smaller coffee mugs for Nespresso machine; more plates, bowls and there were no red wine glasses. All minor improvements for what is a first class property and service. Thank you
