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.

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.
