About this property

Located at the gateway to Mt Ruapehu

A cosy three bedroom self contained house sitting in a fantastic position at the entrance to Mt Ruapehu.
This house sits right next to the Powderhorn and offers a great base for both summer and winter activities.
A perfect location to finish the Old Coach Rd cycle Trail and just across the road from Maungawhero river make this the perfect base to start your adventure.
This house is owned by Iwikau ski Club and is used by club members over winter. We ask that guests follow the same guidelines as our members; that is you will need to provide your own sheets. Guests will also need to provided their own towels as there is no washing machine on site.
We ask that guests clean the house after use and dispose of rubbish and recycling.
