Traverse Cabin is a purpose built holiday home in National Park Village. With super comfortable beds in all three double bedrooms (including 2x double beds with single bunk above), full insulation, double glazing and heat pump, the cabin is a very warm, dry and inviting home away from home after a great day skiing, tramping, cycling, fishing or whatever adventure you are returning from.
Being only 20 minutes from either one of the three highlights of the region: Whakapapa ski field; the world famous Tongariro Alpine Crossing; and one of New Zealand's top mountain bike tracks the 42nd Traverse, you will be able to return home, relax and still have time to sit back and enjoy views of Mt Ruapehu from the lounge and deck.
Should you require a shuttle service to your days activity, you will find the cabin is just a five minute walk to either the summer transfers to the Tongariro Crossing, and to the winter shuttles to the top of the ski field road. Please note: there is a selection of board games, books and cards for our guests to enjoy. Also if a game is on, the local pub is a fun venue to watch the action and then stagger home! (it's only a 3 minute walk or 5 minute stagger).
Linen: We supply pillows and covered duvets. With prior notice, we can also provide sheets and towels for our guests at an additional cost, of $20 per person.
Guest Feedback: "the house was fantastic...worked really well for a group of six. The beds were REALLY comfortable and makes your place stand out ahead of most places we've stayed in. We are looking forward to coming back." Susan. Special conditions:

Good amenities. We liked the tidy comfy set up in the kitchen, lounge and dining area. Good kitchen facilities. Comfortable beds and nice bed linen and towels.
We stayed at the property around a month earlier and loved the whole set up, hence we came back for more! We were skiing with our young children and this property met all of our needs nicely.
This is a very cute and cozy little cabin. Myself and my friends really enjoyed it and the hosts were very accommodating which we appreciated. Everything was clean and in good working condition. I would definitely recommend this place for any short trips away. Thank you!
Parents, adult kids and dog had a great weekend in the house. Warm, cosy, comfy and everything we needed for a homely stay. Perfect spot for ski and walking expeditions. Really lovely.
We really enjoyed quality family time here. David was always very friendly and efficient at communicating with us. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful place.
Comfortable & relaxed spot to stay at National Park. Everything we needed. Only problem was not much open, but that was because of the poor ski season. We still had a great time.
Great place, really central. It had everything we needed. A well equipped kitchen. ThecWifi and chromecast was really easy to use and it was well insulated and warm and had plenty of off street parking. A perfect place to relax after a day up at the mountain.
We were working on the Owhango school and needed a clean , comfortable place to stay. The house did not disappoint us in any way. Easy to find and the host was easy to communicate with. I look forward to returning for a visit with my family in the future
Absolutely great place to stay, clean, tidy and warm. Not far from the ski fields. Locals are super friendly. We are going to book this bach again next ski season.
Only thing we noticed is there was no recycling bin but otherwise that it was perfect.
Would recommend this place to anyone!
Great stay in this cosy cabin in the perfect location
Great stay, super lovely wee cabin. Very easy to get in and out of, stocked with everything you could need. Great location to all activities in the national park.
Only improvements could be the addition of an info book or more communication on how to turn on the gas, what to do with rubbish when done leaving etc but it was easy enough to figure it out :)

It was a lovely stay - a bit of spiderwebs on roof throughout the house but apart from that it was a nice place to stay at. Thank you.
