About this property

Traverse Cabin. Cosy three bedroom holiday home

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.

Cute cozy getaway

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!

Ticked all our boxes

We were up at Waimarino to ski for the week with our two young children, the house was a perfect little bolt hole when weren’t on the mountain!Our only issues were that while there was a log burner and wood for it, unfortunately the wood was all rather damp and there was no way to chop any smaller kindling to even get the fire going, thank goodness for the heat pump, so we were all sorted! Also the Freeview box lost signal on our last night, but no biggie, we were all ready for an early night by then!

Excellent National Park stay

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.

Climb to the Crater

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.

Great place to stay!

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 :)

Well priced property

Thus property had everything we needed. It was very warm and had comfortable beds. The shower also had great pressure. It is very small and could do with a little more storage for food. It states that it sleeps 9 however would only comfortably sleep 8. This was adequate for our group of 6 though. We would definitely stay again. Thank you.

Good value for money

Met our expectations and requirements, thought the property was good value for money. There wasn’t much description on what the check out process was. Also the hot tub wasn’t very usable. But overall a clean and tidy property.

Simple

Easy stay. Bed were comfortable. Had all we needed. Always disappointing when you have to bring your bedding and towels but they do warm you in description. Central location in National Park village. Sofas are used and too sink-y into, but we really weren’t there to hang out in the house just sleep and have coffee, so it was great.

Great spot in the village!

We loved our stay. The Bach is well equipped and near Whakapapa ski field, which was the reason for our trip. Comfortable beds and warm in winter. It would have been good to have a space to dry ski gear effectively after a wet day on the slopes, as we struggled to do this. Visitors should be instructed to use dehumidifier as condensation was very high, even with venting. Two bathrooms are actually 1 shower and 1 toilet. Great view of mountains on a clear day!
