We had a wonderful week in the Barn. The place is full of character and charm, and located in the middle of a little working farm with plenty of space for the kids to roam. Spring lambs and newborn calves were a treat, and the rolling grounds are a far cry from central Wellington. We had two days holed up in the house during the 'weather bomb' over the school holidays and were really pleased we had such lovely, cosy surrounds. Reading by the fire as the kids kept themselves entertained on bikes outside. Then with plenty of brand new snow, we skied the rest of the trip. Great spot for basing yourself to head up the mountain, just a few mins on from National Park township, with drying racks above the fire and an enclosed porch, the place is set up to ski form. When the guys built this place, they did it with a lot of style and thought. And Tim was a delightful host. All cleaning and linen included, and represented really good value compared to other places in the Kune. We were a family of 4, but we'd gladly go back with another family, in which case it's a bargain.
