We are offering, The same amenities at the reduced price for our 4ha, private and secure park like grounds with a 146 m2 four bedroom house plus 120m2 deck with views of Mt Ruapehu, native bush, streams, waterfall and water features.

Ski gear can be easily dried with the clothing racks and the ceiling fan. The bathroom is modern and warm. There is a second separate toilet for dropping the kids off at the pool. The living room/dining room is the heart of the house . The dining room table seats 10 people. There is a tonne of games/puzzles, Wifi, google dongle and blue tooth all hooked up to a quality Yamaha entertainment system with hundreds of CD's/DVD's. The property is really safe to leave your bicycles and sports gear while out for the day. There is ample space to park your cars, trailers, RV's and helicopters. If you read the reviews and look at the photos it is the best way to show what the property offers. This winter offer is really good value for money. Regards Mike.
