Ratana Church Tours and Activities

My lodging was a pop up little cabin that had interesting design features that made for a comfortable and convenient stay. Accessed through a little semi covered atrium or vestible that had a table with chairs, bathtub, sofa what was sealed from rain by the roof and from lateral wind directed rain by an open mesh awning that could be shut but not locked leading to the cabin itself which had a larger than expected room with heater, air on, mini fridge, bathroom with shower, and fully blacked out curtains. I had never seen this type of design before. I really enjoyed it as it was well thought out, placing a premium on being able to enjoy the outdoors ie the vestible as the walls (open mesh tarp) are relatively open to the outdoors permitting draughts of cool, fresh air yet as the roof that covers the cabin extends over the vestible provides protection from the elements in bad weather. Would definitely stay again.

We have been here a few times. Usually the property is clean but this time around there was a lingering smell of sweat & smoke in the room. The reception host was also impatient & condescending when I called to inform them that we will be checking in late. Other than that it was a pleasant stay. We have an awesome time on Mt. Ruapehu.
