Tessa's house was awesome for a trip to the snow. Very comfortably slept 2 families and the kids loved the bunk rooms - we even had a couple of spare beds left. The kitchen & bathroom facilities were great, again great for 2 families. We loved the log burner & the kids spent ages in the tree house. 20 mins from Turangi (check out Rust for its burgers) and 45 mins to whakapapa. Definitely recommend this place.
