Our unit contained a dryer but no washing machine, which we found a bit strange. A bigger mirror in the bathroom (in front of the sink) would be really nice. And a little tip: you should definitely do your grocery shopping elsewhere!

We booked the accommodation in order to hike the Tongariro Crossing as easily as possible and were not disappointed. The shuttle runs not far from the accommodation, making it easy to get an early start to the day. The accommodation contains everything you need to self-cater, plus a very spacious shower!

The beds weren't firm enough for me and the shower and bath had rather low water pressure. After long day walks it would have been great to have a good shower and firm bed. There was also a lot of road noise from the highway right outside the house. If you are a light sleeper take some ear plugs as large trucks use this highway throughout the night.

The self catered kitchen was very good. If you plan to cook it is a good idea to bring your own cooking oil. The wood heater was a cosy addition to the heat pump. The view two the mountains was also excellent.

Loved everything, but getting the instructions for apartment location and lockedbox code was delayed. This was likely because we booked on the same day as check in and am guessing booking.com delayed the information being sent an long as we received the notification with the information a day after we checked out. Nevertheless, when we arrived, we were helped out when we approached the mainhouse. They were lovely and very helpful.

Incredible location with stunning views from the property. The unit/apartment was clean and new. Beds were very comfortable. The shower was great. We had a washing machine and dryer which wss great after travelling a couple of days with a baby and 5yr old. It was great for our little family. Would definitely go back again and be happy to stay for longer than a night.

Couches were too soft and beds too springy.

Clean. Had everything we needed for a 2 night stay. Short walk to eating places. Great view.

There is nothing to complain about. Some people may be bothered by the property's proximity to the main through road (SH4) and the occasional passing of a heavy vehicle that causes a wee rumble, but it did not affect our enjoyment of the property at all. An on-site spa pool, or access to a local spa pool, would have been perfect. We would be very happy to return here for our next break in the National Park. ..

Great host, who welcomed us on our arrival. The accommodation was great for our group, private, spacious, with excellent facilities, all essentials provided, fully equipped kitchen and laundry, and very comfortable beds and lounge area. Clean and quite new bathroom facilities. On-site, at the door parking. Big TV. We enjoyed the real fire at the end of a long day hiking and the convenience of the heat pump in the cold morning. The property is in a very convenient location for exploring all that the National Park has to offer, with an unobstructed view of Tongariro, Ngauruhoe, and Ruapehu from the lounge and one bedroom. One of the shuttle pick-up/ drop-off points is just across the road. There's a lovely little bar/restaurant at a local hotel within easy walking distance. Half an hour drive to Ohakune Village, and about the same distance to Tokaanu hot pools.

Just a note that the plug sockets are not close to the head of the bed, so harder to charge phone and use as alarm (though there is an extension cable used for the light which can be unplugged and used).

This apartment is perfectly located in the National Park village, which was perfect for us having just finished the Tongariro Crossing. The rooms were well equipped, and the sizeable, powerful shower was just what we needed after a hard day's hiking. We also met the owner, who was lovely and had no issues with the fact that our booking had changed from 1 to 2 people, other than being concerned that he hadn't known to be able to leave us enough towels. A wonderful stay and excellent value for money.

This is more suggestions. Get a TV in the room. The Window in the shower let me feel exposed when showering at night. Change the bedrooms and bathroom doors to sliding doors. It will give more space and be more practical. Else we enjoyed the stay.

The location is very good. With all the small things which could be changed to make the stay even more pleasant, we had a great break away.

No dishwasher- washing dishes in winter was not my favourite thing to do @@

The hosts are super friendly. The location is very convenient. The holiday house is cosy and spacious. It's so good to have a fireplace in winter - so warm 😀

Nowhere to dry clothing other than to move clothes rack into main room, as no heating in area out side where rack goes. Oven fan faulty

Generally confortable and clean

The bathroom was very cold, as the heater wasn’t working and was out in the other room, where the heat pump and fire didn’t heat. I would recommend fixing the heater and getting small heaters for the bedrooms. I also thought the beds weren’t that comfortable.

The house was nice and clean and definitely big enough for a family of 4. The fire was a good bonus and heated the house well.
