Stayed at the Ruapehu house with a large group (all family). House was beautiful, looked just like the photos, great location. Steve is a the best host, very friendly and welcoming and always willing to help.
Only reason I am giving 4 stars is because the extractor fan above the stove was broken and Tv not working, there were DVDs but most of them not suitable for children. We had quite a few kids with us so needed to keep them occupied while cooking dinner. However, the whole family enjoyed their stay and we would definitely come back here.
