What a lovely family home, great value for money and has everything we need. We stayed here when we went snowboarding at Whakapapa, which was roughly a 40 minute drive. The fireplace was well stocked with firewood and there’s lots of oil heaters to keep you warm. The 2 bigger rooms are located towards the front and is close to the main road so can hear vehicles passing by, it didn’t bother me however my partner who’s a very light sleeper wakes up to the sound of it. New World and takeaway shops are a 2 minute drive. Overall we had a really pleasant stay.
