Family house
We had a good time in this house. It had everything needed for two families. The house is very spacious, and since we spent a lot of time inside, the children also had plenty to keep them entertained. Excellent communication with the owner of the house, who was willing to accommodate us when we were planning to stay an extra day. Highly recommended."

Big place, perfect for groups, ideally located. We were four adults and four kids - the house is massive and easily accommodates indoor activities but equally has a great deck and total views despite being walking distance from town.

Family snow adventure
The house was so functional for our family of 3 adults and 7 children of various ages. There were spaces for everyone to enjoy. The kitchen was a dream with everything available to cater for a big group. The deck had a great view of the mountain and the bird calls in the morning beautiful.

Warm spacious accommodation with stunning views
When we arrived we were gobsmacked by the size of the living/dining/kitchen area. It's huge! And all these rooms have spectacular views of Ruapehu. And the place stays incredibly warm. In fact, we had to draw the curtains to keep the sun out as it was too warm -- in the middle of July! Having four bedrooms and two bathrooms meant our party of six had ample space. The kitchen was equipped with everything you could imagine -- apart from a teapot.

We had three adults and two kids (3.5 and 7) stay for four nights in Autumn. We loved all the space and the toy box was an unexpected bonus for the three year old. Very well appointed property, would stay again.

magic spot
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had extended family joining us and the space was just perfect for all of the people that we had. We had a minor issue when I couldn't find something but Lena's communication was exceptional and the matter was resolved quickly. They house is super warm and is very well equipped with everything you need. We would love to stay again but might be a bit big for our family of 4.
