We had a lovely 2 days in Nicola's character house. It was very peaceful and had all we needed. We all enjoyed the spa! Lovely soaking in the hot water looking out at the hills, plus having the spa robes to use. We enjoyed the warmth of the fire too and didn't feel cold despite the wintry conditions. The house is a handy location for access to Ohakune/Turoa and the National Park.
