We stayed for two nights in unit 3. We were two families with 1 kid each (1 yo and 4 yo). It snowed heavily on second night and next morning saw everything around covered in snow. That was a wish came true. The whakapapa ski range at Mt Ruapehu is just 20 mins away which makes this as a perfect place to stay. The hosts are very helpful and kind. We stayed together like a family for two days and it was great to know each other. The kitchen and living rooms are common for everyone and are large enough to make room for all. The fire place in living room is just awsome. The kitchen is fully equipped but you need to bring all the raw material required for cooking.
