Ranfurly cottage is a fantastic gem within a relatively short driving distance to Mt Ruapehu. We absolutely loved staying in their private quarters and felt so welcome from the moment we arrived. Both rooms are immaculate with double beds and modern bathroom facilities in each room (towel warmers, heated floors etc). There is also a washing machine and dryer for guests and this was very handy when we come back from skiing. The breakfasts were more than a simple continental breaksfast. We had eggs (egg cooker provided), bacon, ham, cheese, fresh fruit, yoghurt, proper coffee as well as cereal stuff. There were loads of board games and dvds provided as well as sky tv. This was great as we stayed 4 nights and it rained a lot of the time we were there. Once again, thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone!
