Traverse Cabin. Cosy three bedroom holiday home

Traverse Cabin. Cosy three bedroom holiday home

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed here in 3 nights in spring in order to attend a show. It has fairly easy access to Taumarunui, Ohakune, Turangi and the ski fields of course. Pub food was okay and 4 Square had most things you'd need.Everything was fine for us .. beds comfy, kitchen and shower good. Internet was via a 5G mobile router (fairly common in baches) and we had no issues with streaming tv.There's a school with a large field and playground a block away if you've got kids or want somewhere to walk the dog. The property has a fenced grass area at the back if you want a break from your dog."
