Nice small place

Its a nice small place for a family stay. It'll take bit of time to get the house heated up with the fire place in the winter but all good after.

nice warm house

we stayed 2 nights, the house was very nice, under floor heating was great. we used the fire place to warm the house. adequate space of the renovated bathrooms were really convenience, walking distance to train station, to the shuttle buses and to the city also another bonus. we really enjoyed those three days over there.

Tidy Property

Cottage was comfortable, appreciated the 2 bathrooms and underfloor heating. Kitchen very small and little bench space. Disappointing cleaning list for end of stay. Unsure if this cleaning is checked between guests as thick dust on top of fridge, headboard on double bed and on servery between kitchen and dining. Suggest new mop.

Weekend ski getaway

A gorgeous little house with heaps of room. Warm and inviting with underfloor heating and a fire and an amazing shower to top it off. Handy to restaurants so we didn’t need to cook. A quick trip up to Whakapapa for a day skiing for the boys and people watching for me and a friend off the deck at the top of the Sky Waka.

Warm and cozy.

Pleasant, if a bit dated, the property is a work in progress, which is progressively being renovated, so a little “rough “ in places, but fine. The two bathrooms are fabulous, as is the underfloor heating which is amazing and keeps the property really comfortable. There was everything we could want for cooking in the kitchen. Disappointing was the very,VERY long cleaning list, ( provided only after we had paid in full) from asking guests to clean toilets, showers , stove/ microwave/ toaster/ fridge/sweep/vacuum, mop, strip beds,fill up fire wood and sweep verandah. I’m not sure what the “service fee” is for?

Ski weekend accomodation

A lovely cosy house perfect for our Ski weekend. The house has been updated in parts and the under floor heating was to die for. Perfectly suitable for what we required and will be back next season! Thanks

Nice to see some improvements. Suits two families really well.

Bathroom underfloor heating was found set at 30 after chocolate melted and partly cooked buns. Left set at 20. Took our own pine cones to start fire as other times there has been no kindling left to use. Possibly due to the very blunt axe. Underfloor heating leaves the house warm, even when arriving in the evening, very nice. We are generally happy with with the service provided, as it has all the needs for 8 people to stay comfortably.
