The house is a basic, older style house that is clean and tidy, in a great location to easily access the town and mountain. We arrived on an extremely cold day (snow through Taihape to Waiouru) which was too much for the fire and panel heaters. It took about 24 hours to heat up, but once that had happened it was nice and cosy. The beds were comfy, and there were helpful things for when travelling with kids such as a high chair, toys suitable for small children and a few books. Some things to improve would be to upgrade the heaters and have a fireguard. We enjoyed our stay.
