About this property
cosy home with mountain-views, near Tongariro Crossing and skifields
A barn-style holiday home for families or small groups wanting to enjoy the great outdoors. This holiday home is very cozy, clean and spacious. The living rooms, dining, kitchen and Master bedroom all have lovely views of Mt Pihanga.
We now have free 4G wifi.
Bedrooms
There are 3 bedrooms upstairs, each with a Queen sized bed. The third bedroom also contains a bunk bed. There is a single fold out bed and a fold down couch as well, which can be placed anywhere in the house.
The queen beds all have electric blankets for the colder nights and there are 2 single electric blankets and spare blankets in the cupboards.
Bathrooms
There are 2 full bathrooms. One upstairs and one downstairs. The downstairs one has a separate toilet.
Rest of house
Downstairs there is a fully equipped open plan kitchen with oven, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher as well as a dining area, a breakfast bar, a bar with small tv and a lounge with cozy fireplace.
There is an additional lounge with a large tv and DVD player upstairs.
Please be aware the tv signal is intermittant at times.
We provide bedding incl. linen, towels as well as firewood. There is also a small supply of toilet paper, shower gel, shampoo, dishwashing liquid and dishwashing tabs.
The garage with internal access provides enough room to store your outdoor equipment such as skiis, snowboards, hiking boots etc.
It has lots of dry firewood stored in it for use with the fireplace.
There is some outdoor furniture to spend time in the garden.
We have a small selection of books and games available.
Parking
You can park your car on the property, either under the carport with covered access to the house or in the driveway. There is also plenty of parking space on the side of the road.
Turangi and surroundings
Turangi is located on the Tongariro River which is famous for its trout fishing, river rafting, walks and bike rides.
It is a perfect base for outdoor activities around Mt Ruapehu.
The North Island’s main skiing area (Whakapapa ski field on Mt Ruapehu) is a 45 min drive away,
and the car parks for the world famous Tongariro Crossing are readily accessible in 25-35 minutes.
Many different shuttle services are available or you can drive yourself.
Enjoy the beautiful bays of Lake Taupo, all within a 10-15 minute drive or take a slightly longer drive of 30 minutes into Taupo itself.
And after all your adventures take a soak in the hot pools of Tokaanu – only 5 minutes away from The Barn.
Well- behaved dogs in their own beds welcome. Any droppings must be picked up by person in charge of the dog. Please do not let any dogs onto the furniture.
Special conditions:

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by JenTris
We live north of Wellington and have recently acquired The Barn as our holiday home to be closer to family and friends who are splattered across the North Island. When we are not using it ourselves we like to share it with other keen travellers, families and groups.
Why they chose this property
We love being close to the mountains and Taupo lake. Being in between Auckland and Wellington also means that we can catch up with friends and family a lot more often because we can meet halfway.
What makes this property unique
Minutes drive to lakes, mountains and hot pools.
Ideal base for the Tongariro Crossing, skiing, snowboarding, river rafting, mountain biking, hiking, fishing, and so much more.
