Great little place, oh and the view of the mountain from the kitchen was awesome!!! Modern renovated kitchen was a joy to prepare meals in after a day on the slopes. The wood burner was perfect for keeping us warm. Great communication, easy check in and the place was just as the photos and description suggest. Plenty of bedding, clear instructions on everything. For a mountain trip you can't go wrong with this place, would also be great for summer tramping, if you have kids there is a huge I mean huge new playground just round the corner!! And the I site in whakapapa now has 15 mins free wifi daily so you can just check your emails for free on the way to ski!! Or get a $5 daily voucher just round corner at yha hostel. Great place thanks Scott's.
