Long weekend at the mountain
We stayed with my sister and her family, 8 of us in total. The Barn was clean and well set up. It had everything we needed to make for an enjoyable long weekend of Skiing, catching up with family and a small birthday celebration for two of the children! Communication with the owner was easy. Would definitely choose again for our next weekend in the snow.

Good quiet location
This is a lovely home in a location that suited our needs. The kitchen is well supplied and the fireplace lovely on those cold mornings. The beds are comfortable and bathrooms are nice. Having the washer and clothesline was very helpful to us, as well. Jen was very easy to communicate with.

Cozy and warm
The house is great. Really warm and cozy and tidy. Close to town and dog friendly which was awesome to be able to have our dog with us. Had lots of things included which was lovely (board games, wifi, firewood, linen, towels, pantry items etc). Great hosts very kind and communicative which was appreciated. Only problem we had was at the time of our stay a neighbour would blast music that shook the house late nights and early morning making it hard to sleep.

We actually ask for an electric heater due to previous experience and we have 2 babies under one. But the house was really warm and tidy and have all that we needed including rice cooker. We would love to come back to this place the next time we are heading to Turangi.

Two day Ski trip to Whakapapa
The property was perfect for my family group. I was worried it would not be warm enough with only a fire but it was quick to light and warmed the house super fast. Having a fire was also snuggly on the cold nights and mornings. My only suggestion would be to increase the pitiful water pressure to both showers which should be an easy fix.
