About this property

Gorgeous Log Cabin, Outdoor Bath & Mountain Views

This property has the X-Factor! Gorgeous incredibly private and quiet Log Cabin, with sundrenched decks, tucked away and surrounded by trees and fields a park and river running by... a rural setting, yet only 600 meters to the middle of town.

Enjoy a hot bubble bath on the deck under the stars with candle light and bubbles!

(PLEASE NOTE 2ND BEDROOM IS UP A STEEP LADDER)

3 minute drive, (20 minute walk along the Maungawhero River Walkway, 100 meters from your door), to "The Junction" apres-ski bars and restaurants
In Winter the fire will be going, the house warm and cosy for your arrival... relax and enjoy all the comforts of home in this natural wood Cabin. The Lounge and Main Bedroom both have smart TVs, SKY plus MYSKY for recording programs or catching up on those you have recorded at home SKY MOVIES and SKY SPORT too :)

The Satin-Jet shower gives you the most amazing adjustable shower and gas hot water heating means you can stay in there as long as you like.. that goes for the bath too, perfect after a day up the mountain, or hiking/biking the many tracks

Bed Linen and Towels are provided. Dishwasher, Fridge/Freezer, Oven, Microwave and small appliances, including coffee plunger and teapot

The upstairs loft does have safety railing but if you would prefer the kids on the same level, downstairs L-shaped lounge has a mattress base and is made up with cosy wool rests and fitted sheets and thus can double as two single beds for the little ones, toe to toe! (approx six feet long each way from corner, see pics)

A very private, 600mm high fenced deck with access from the lounge/dining has an amazing unobstructed view over the paddocks to Mt Ruapehu

Shutters on all the windows add to the security of a monitored burglar alarm and professionally installed fire alarms

The fire can be loaded up and turned down so it is going 24/7, you never need to reset or light, there's a drying area behind

A carport provides undercover access to the cabin
Special conditions:
Linen provided for 1 Queen and amp; 2 Double beds, also the two narrow singles, (suitable for one adult or two smaller children toe to toe, L-shaped couch downstairs)

The base rental varies throughout the year, extra occupants charged at $25/adult or child per night except school holidays

Hidden Gem

Beautiful log cabin close to town but feels like middle of nature. Perfect for family of 4 with a bit older kids due to maisonette level only has a ladder to enter. We really enjoyed our stay and would do it again.

Amazing little place

Close to everything you need and the fire was amazing, kept the cabin warm all through the night. It has everythong you need for a long or short stay. We can't recommend this place enough. We will be back.

Our stay at this log cabin was a fantastic experience! The cabin was super clean, tidy, and very well-stocked with kitchenware, making it easy to prepare meals without needing to eat out. The owner provided excellent and concise information for our stay. The location is incredibly convenient, and the serene surroundings with a mountain view made our trip even more special. It's definitely worth the drive from Auckland. We highly recommend it, 10/10!

Gorgeous Cabin Review

We loved our stay at the cabin. Everything was well thought through - simple but quality. Location was superb, fire cosy, loft great fun for the kids, deck secluded with great BBQ. Paul was most accommodating when we contacted him. Cabin was 100% clean. We would definitely love to stay again. Thanks for sharing this gem with us.

Charming ski town cabin

Incredibly charming little cabin, don't let the size fool you as it's laid out well and thought went into every nooks and crannies. Charming material and the stone tiled shower and the outdoor tub are a treat. Maybe we were unlucky though as many light bulbs died. Kids loved the attic; even more so during some intense rain and hail, just wonderful.

Disliked: Location
Location was not great. Washing machine over flowed all over floor. Outside tub was uncovered and dirty. BBQ cover was in the paddock, in the mud. Fire not going, which they advertised that it would be. We bought in wood and left it stocked and ready to go for the next guests. Very dark cabin, not much lighting at all. The view is of dead vines.
