About this property

Beautiful Volcanic Plateau-Bear Mountain Lodge

This is an old Mill House converted to a ski lodge on a quarter acre section with spectacular views of Mount Ruapehu.The ideal set up is great for 2 families for an Adventure on the Volcanic Plateau or a group wanting comfortable practical accommodation as a base 15 minutes from Whakapapa Ski Field, the start of 42 Traverse and Tongariro Crossing. This cosy bach has a Kent fire which quickly warms up the house and keeps you warm. The gas hot water means there is always a quick supply of hot water and the house now has a brand new bathroom with toilet , shower and vanity in the main bathroom and in second bathroom is a toilet and small vanity. This is all BRAND NEW. Plenty of dry firewood is stored in the attached workshed which is set up for ski/board tuning . A mud room and drying room complete the ideal set up for outdoor activities. Board games, darts and Sky TV with My Sky mean when the weather lets you down you can make your own entertainment or be entertained. The house in McKenzie St is a short stroll from the Railway Station, Cafes and Ski/Snowboard Rental Shops.

Great place!
They place was wonderfully comfortable. All the bed were very comfy, all with electric blankets. The place was warm with the fire. It had everything we needed and we very much enjoyed our stay. Would definitely stay there again. The drying room was particularly welcome after the rainy hike we had on our first day.

Perfect for a trip to the mountain.
This was the perfect place to be based for any activity around National Park. Accommodated our 3 families easily. Loved the kitchen, fireplace and lounge area for chilling out and laughing. Gas water shower bonus after the Tongariro crossing. Would stay again.
