Beautiful clean cozy

Excellent cozy holiday house. Very clean with all things present that were needed for an accomodation house. Comfortable beds with loads of warm duvets and spare blankets for the cold location mid winter. Extremely effective fireplace with exceptional firewood making warming the house very easy. Both my 9year old daughter and I very much enjoyed the brilliant range of kids books. Thanks loads Tracey and Steve. Was great getaway retreat to base from. Highly recommended. Close to tbe main road for some truck noise but was absolutely minor far outweighed by the ease and comfort of the house. 5/5 all round.

Perfect Base for Our Adventures

Our group of four had a fantastic stay at Tracy and Steve's well-equipped property. The house had everything we needed - fully stocked kitchen, all linen provided, and a cozy fireplace that kept us warm. Perfect location for walking to town and driving to local attractions like the Tongariro River and Tokaanu Hot Pools.The road noise from Highway 1 was minimal and didn't affect our stay. Excellent value for money and ideal for families or small groups exploring the region. Would definitely book again!

Cozy house in neighborhood

We stayed for 2 nights before and after the Alpine crossing. Lovely home in quiet neighborhood. Plenty of living space. Slightly cluttered with no space in closets to hang clothes. Low pressure shower water and tub faucet leaky. No outlets in the bathroom. Updated kichen with plenty of space. Nice to have washer. Great local eateries all around.
