Thank you for having us
This was our second time. We love the place, the space, the trains and the memorabilia. Watching the trains go through was a total highlight for my dad, the kids played badminton in the garden and we did some beautiful walks in National Park. A great place for the whole family.

Different & memorable! Will come back!
We loved it! Cosy, rustic & so quiet, but then, exciting when a train came by (not too often) Comfortable beds & couches. Great value for money!

Staying at this house is a memorable experience
This house has a very large collection of antiques on display. Felt like we were stepping back in time and the kids loved it, such a good learning experience for them seeing all old things that people used in the olden days. Cozy house. Massive yard for the kids to play soccer and run around. I personally don't think it would be safe to bring toddlers here because the train track is just off the boundary & not fenced.

Unique and comfortable cottage
Great place with lots of character. Perfect to base ourselves and drive short distance to National Park for shuttle to Whakapapa skiing. Comfy couches to curl up on in front of fire. Night trains obvious

This is a great property to stay, full of character and very comfortable. Great location, lovely outlook and peaceful (apart from the odd train that rumbles through).

Charming, great value
Loved the bach and location. Light sleepers might not appreciate proximity of train line, but for us was another unique element that added to the charm. Looking forward to staying again.

Most enjoyable
Enjoyable stay. Bach is not serviced and the fridge freezer needs attention, ice build up needs to be fully defrosted. Advertised for family and is good but with toddlers the section needs to be fenced, all said enjoyable stay and close to all facilities, Whakapapa and National Park,
