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 is a perfect base for outdoor activities around Mt Ruapehu.

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.

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.
