Roomy well located house
House size good, kitchen worked well. Great fire. It takes a long time to heat up this home. Even with heat pump on and fire going we were sitting on only 16 degrees after a couple of hours. Pillows on bed need replacing. They are too old. Shower drain had not been cleaned well enough. Price was fair. Plenty of parking and good flat section

Quiet and peaceful family holiday home
Well equipped old cottage in quiet street. Comfortable beds, log burner. Beware advertised hot tub not present ! Didnt matter to us but might matter to others.

Loved this cozy mountain cabin next to the park
This was a lovely home. We loved cabin feeling with fireplace, warm blankets and pillows to curl up with, window views, and stocked kitchen. Loved the little town of National Park and it closeness to the park entrance road. It was very comfortable and enjoyable for our family of 5 adults. Thank you!

Lovely basecamp for a trip to the snow
We only stayed here one night but the house had everything we needed and we loved the fire and the views of the mountains. We'd love to come back again one day!

Clean, spacious and warm
We were really happy with the accomodation, impressed by the views, was really clean with amazing bathrooms. All the facilities and little details were available, super cozy and warm. Very sunny during the day, we loved it and the location to other amenities was awesome! We'd definitely pick this place again. The only slight negative I'd say was that there was everything we needed like blankets/electric blankets so therefore we wish we hadn't have felt the need to load our vehicle up with extra duvets etc when we didn't need to. I think this was just the host being concerned for our comfort so in no way a major thing but we'd bring less next time. Overall we feel like we were very looked after by Vanessa.

A cozy place to stay for Tongariro adventures
This is an ideal place to stay for a family or small group visiting the national park or heading up to Whakapapa. Nothing too fancy, but warm, cozy, clean and comfortable!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Location is great. But the floor appears to be dirty and we had no idea which towels are clean as all linens, towels and sleeping bags are randomly piled in closet without doors.

Location
We only stopped for 1 night to break a long road trip, wish we had a couple at least. Walking distance for all national park amenities. Lovely view from property. So handy for tongariro crossing + park. Well equipped. Personally don't like fleecy sheets but minor issue only. Ness was good to deal with+ responded quickly.

Great stay at National Park
We loved our stay here. The property was accurate to the listing, easy check in and good communication with owner. The bach was very well stocked with everything we needed and more. My teens appreciated the good wifi and smart tv. We loved the location for its access to walks and bike rides. So much to do down here for an active family. Would recommend and would stay again.

Great spot for a ski week and sitting around the fire
Great spot. Nice central Log burning fire with plenty of wood and space to relax after days on the mountain. Nice big dining table had been more of us. A 2-block walk to the pubs and restaurants at National Park. Short drive to Whakapapa so we could be there easily for the first runs. We had a great week with two young kids (6,3) who loved to bean bags and bunk rooms. Great ski gear drying options came in handy.

A short stay in National Park.
A clean, quiet, and spacious house, centrally situated in National Park township. Friendly and prompt replies from the owner. Our stay was hassle free - and the weather was brilliant!

Lovely home away from home
Our family had a lovely stay here. We faced a bout of unusually cold weather; the wood burner kept us warm and dry (once going for a while) and there were plenty of cozy blankets.

Has everything you need. Good communication from owner. Nice and handy to ski fields. We had some cold days so a heat pump would be an awesome addition as it took a while for the fire to heat the house up, but once going it was good.

Clean, comfortable, warm. Spacious flat yard
The fireplace makes the living area a great space to relax in. National Park village is small so everything is close anyway. It was a great quiet retreat; enjoyed relaxing quietly in that space a lot. I would definitely stay again.

The Middle of Adventure Land
This place is great - right in the middle of MTB, hiking and skiing adventures. It's homely, very warm thanks to a wood burner and ducted heat and got all the cooking things needed. Also lots of room to spread out.

Good stay
Hi we enjoyed our stay however I would like to let you know that the website says it is number 38 Carroll Street when it is 36 which sent us on a bit of a whirlwind after our long walk.

We really enjoyed our say here! We had a full 8 and it didn't feel overcrowded and felt like a very easy social accommodation with the open plan living area. I would highly recommend staying here!
