Anthea's bach is a lovely place to spend the weekend. It was a nice stop for us between snowboarding on Ruapehu and communication with Anthea were very quick and easy. The cottage is utterly lovely but can be a tad cold during the winter. It does have a heat pump in the corridor but the warmth does not travel to the bedroom or lounge very well.. Despite that, we're likely to stay here again over summer when we're back for some mountain biking!
