About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Traverse Cabin. Cosy three bedroom holiday home

Traverse Cabin is a purpose built holiday home in National Park Village.
With super comfortable beds in all three double bedrooms (including 2x double beds with single bunk above), full insulation, double glazing and heat pump, the cabin is a very warm, dry and inviting home away from home after a great day skiing, tramping, cycling, fishing or whatever adventure you are returning from.

Being only 20 minutes from either one of the three highlights of the region: Whakapapa ski field; the world famous Tongariro Alpine Crossing; and one of New Zealand's top mountain bike tracks the 42nd Traverse, you will be able to return home, relax and still have time to sit back and enjoy views of Mt Ruapehu from the lounge and deck.

Should you require a shuttle service to your days activity, you will find the cabin is just a five minute walk to either the summer transfers to the Tongariro Crossing, and to the winter shuttles to the top of the ski field road.
Please note: there is a selection of board games, books and cards for our guests to enjoy. Also if a game is on, the local pub is a fun venue to watch the action and then stagger home! (it's only a 3 minute walk or 5 minute stagger).

Linen:
We supply pillows and covered duvets. With prior notice, we can also provide sheets and towels for our guests at an additional cost, of $20 per person.

Guest Feedback:
"the house was fantastic...worked really well for a group of six. The beds were REALLY comfortable and makes your place stand out ahead of most places we've stayed in. We are looking forward to coming back." Susan.
Special conditions:

Minimum 2 night stay
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a travel crib.

Good value for money

Met our expectations and requirements, thought the property was good value for money. There wasn’t much description on what the check out process was. Also the hot tub wasn’t very usable. But overall a clean and tidy property.

Just fine!

The location was perfect for the Tongariro Crossing trek and exploring the park. House was a a bit tired and could use a deep carpet and couch cleaning. The kitchen was hard to cook a big meal in. BUT - the beds were super comfy and the space worked well for our family of 4 adults. It was unusual to me to pay extra for towels and bedding. NOTE: if you need those (like you aren't coming with your camping gear) - be sure to arrange ahead of time! Close (walkable) to a fun pub/restaurant and general store in National Park village.

Simple

Easy stay. Bed were comfortable. Had all we needed. Always disappointing when you have to bring your bedding and towels but they do warm you in description. Central location in National Park village. Sofas are used and too sink-y into, but we really weren’t there to hang out in the house just sleep and have coffee, so it was great.

Great stay in this cosy cabin in the perfect location

Great stay, super lovely wee cabin. Very easy to get in and out of, stocked with everything you could need. Great location to all activities in the national park. Only improvements could be the addition of an info book or more communication on how to turn on the gas, what to do with rubbish when done leaving etc but it was easy enough to figure it out :)

Well priced property

Thus property had everything we needed. It was very warm and had comfortable beds. The shower also had great pressure. It is very small and could do with a little more storage for food. It states that it sleeps 9 however would only comfortably sleep 8. This was adequate for our group of 6 though. We would definitely stay again. Thank you.

Great place to stay!

Absolutely great place to stay, clean, tidy and warm. Not far from the ski fields. Locals are super friendly. We are going to book this bach again next ski season. Only thing we noticed is there was no recycling bin but otherwise that it was perfect. Would recommend this place to anyone!

A Convenient Home with Everything You Need

My recent stay at this lovely property left me thoroughly impressed. Location (5/5): This home is in an excellent location, close to everything you could possibly need during your stay. it's all within easy reach. This convenience made my trip stress-free and enjoyable. Amenities (5/5): The home is thoughtfully equipped with everything you might require. The kitchen has all the essentials, making meal preparation a breeze. What really stood out, though, was the fantastic collection of board games. They kept my kids entertained for hours, and we had a blast playing together. Comfort (4.5/5): The only minor drawback was the size of the shower space, which is a bit on the smaller side. However, the redeeming factor was the reliable hot water supply. We never had to worry about running out of hot water, ensuring a comfortable shower experience. Plus, the house's heating system and heat pump kept us warm and cozy throughout our stay. I highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a comfortable and convenient place to stay in the area. Our stay was fantastic, and we would happily return in the future. Thank you for making our trip so enjoyable!

Great spot in the village!

We loved our stay. The Bach is well equipped and near Whakapapa ski field, which was the reason for our trip. Comfortable beds and warm in winter. It would have been good to have a space to dry ski gear effectively after a wet day on the slopes, as we struggled to do this. Visitors should be instructed to use dehumidifier as condensation was very high, even with venting. Two bathrooms are actually 1 shower and 1 toilet. Great view of mountains on a clear day!

Comfortable & relaxed spot to stay at National Park. Everything we needed. Only problem was not much open, but that was because of the poor ski season. We still had a great time.
