A great. comfy place to stay
This is a nice, comfortable place to stay. Very close to Whakapapa Ski Field, there are restaurants and a gas station close by. Our family also did a day trip to Ohakune and Waiouru, which is a short drive from this place.The house has a fully equipped kitchen, and bedsheets and blankets are provided (although the booking confirmation mentioned we need to bring our own). Overall a pleasant stay. Thank you!

Deceiving!!!
The checkin has been hard because the video that they sent was not the good one, we had the wrong information. We had to manage to call the owner (as foreigners it was not easy. When we finally got in, there was clothes in the washing machine, it was not so cleaned and we had to look for everything, no garbage bag and no answer from the owner even though we wrote him on his email. It was not what we had expected. Very deceiving!

The chalet was the perfect stay for us to explore Tongoriro National Park. The park turnoff was 15 minutes away. The National Park town has numerous dining options with a number of places that have incredible outdoor views. The turn is small and walkable and very safe and quiet! The chalet was well equipped with comfortable beds and also has great views of the surrounding areas and the volcanoes along with Mt Doom from Lord of the Rings! Our hosts were communicative and answered our questions promptly. Parking was right in front of the chalet. I would highly recommend a stay at the chalet!

OK I guess
Unfortunately the dirty linen remained on the beds and rubbish was left by the previous guests. The cleaner had to come by to put it right. Photos don’t really represent the rustic interior. Otherwise the place was OK.

A great house to base yourself in for exploring the Central North Island.
A great house to base yourself in for exploring the Central North Island. All the basics at a really reasonable price - which is hard to come by theses days it seems. The fire does a good job of heating the place up. There are no double/queen beds - but nothing that a bit of furniture re-arranging cannot fix.
