We loved staying at this house. We stayed for 5 nights. We only ended up skiing 2 of the 5 days as the other days the roads were closed due to ice and snow. We spent a lot of time in the house. At night the fireplace was cosy and there was plenty of wood. The kitchen and large living areas worked well for our large family (2 adults and 4 boys). It was a beautiful part of New Zealand and a lovely comfortable house.
