My friend Kish found this in AirBnB as our accomodation for our weekend trip to Ruapehu. The place was indeed the same as the photos that were shown in the AirBnB site. The place was clean and we had game boards which we enjoyed playing. Also the kitchen space was very nice. We were able to coom food during our stay. We love the ambience and how peaceful and quiet the whole neighbourhood was that time. We had nice hot showers daily and the view.... AMAZING!!!!! The place was indeed a sanctuary. If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful place to retreat during your stay when visiting National Park, I recommend this. We never mind the driving to Whakapapa Village as we went there to enjoy the snow but this is closer to Turoa Ski Field if you like the more advanced ski slopes. Plus! Frances and Anton were very lovely hosts! :)
