We have enjoyed our stay at the premises. It was so cosy, a very warm house during our winter stay. The host are very kind and very helpful. We definitely will return back there inthe future. Thanks very much Dave and Dale.
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.
Fantastic house for skiing, was easily able to accommodate myself and my friends and was a great location with good facilities that was close to the mountain

National Park Village Tour
Nice location and accommodation suitable for all national park adventures. House slept seven of us very comfortably and two bathrooms is a bonus. House is full of character! Tongariro crossing complete.
This was a great place for our family of 5 to have our kids first ski experience. Short trip to Whakapapa, and fabulous hot shower on our return. The water pressure is amazing! Thank you for sharing your family Bach with us.
