Great place

The Bach was tidy, well presented and we had a wonderful stay. However, we did struggle to get the dish washer to work, one of the heaters and some of the beds/mattresses were vey soft (time to replace I think). Thank you for sharing your wonderful place.

Just an amazing place to stay!

Beautiful house, with a great kitchen area and living room, able to make real fire, all the rooms really confortable plus quite close from Mt Ruapehu, it was a 35 mins drive to the bus place for going to the mountain, highly recommended for a big family or a 10 people group ; )
