Five-star rating!

We had a lovely and peaceful time in this beautiful log cabin. The architectural design and all the little details in decorations and furniture have made this cabin so special, not to mention the stunning snow mountain views and starry sky. Would love to be back again.

Beautiful log cabin with stunning mountain views, we loved our stay here. Hosts were so friendly and communicative. The cabin had everything we needed and more, and the outdoor spa each night to watch the sunset was a real luxury! Made some great family memories! Thank you.

Perfect!

I was lucky to find this gem when finding dog friendly places to stay for a birthday trip, everything was amazing, super clean and tidy, awesome fireplace and spa for use, no stress with the dogs. Place was easy to find, super private and highlight was probably the view of Mt Ruapehu. Will definitely be back!

Quiet and cosy!

We stayed here for just one night in summer and it was perfect. Beautiful surroundings, and the most spectacular view of Ruapehu in the morning! Not difficult to find thanks to the instructions from the host. Highly recommend. Thanks for having us!

Was incredible coming back here after 19 years. It’s still stunning. Has almost everything you need. Can’t fault a thing about it. We all loved every moment and didn’t want to leave. Only thing I’ll change is staying for longer than 2 nights!

Great location and beautiful house

Review in English: Despite the constant rain, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was equipped with everything we needed. The issue with the missing TV remote was quickly resolved, allowing us to spend our time indoors watching movies. The cabin is quite old, which is noticeable here and there, especially at the windows. What we found really impressive were the bathtub and the wood stove.

Lovely weekend away

Lovely holiday house. Well presented and tidy. Cosy and warm once the fire was lit. Nice and relaxing bath outside.Perfect for after a day on the slopes. Only negative I can think of it the height of the bunk beds- if you are scared of heights! The top bunk is pretty high and the lower bunk my 4 year old struggled to climb up. Bedrooms are up steep stairs but there is a gate which we didnt use. Toilet and shower downstairs. Great place highly recommend. We took our small schnauzer lots of outside area for walking.
