The area was very nice to explore, much bush and hills, property was good, and provided a good base of operations with plenty of space for parking and sleeping
Great location, quiet (except for passing trucks as it is quite close to the highway) and clean
Had a great time on the slopes and came back to a warm dry and humble house afterwards.
This is a basic family Bach. Nothing flash, but it was just right for our little group to stay for a couple of nights while skiing in the daytime.
Easy access and parking. Lovely and warm.
Fantastic communication with the owners.

It is very close to the whagapapa ski. And the host was response to our enquiries and things we need very quick.
The property has all you need - a shower with hot water and great water pressure, pots, cutlery, jug, oven, washer and dryer, heaters and electric blanket etc. It was a great getaway at a reasonable price. Instructions for entry were very clear and it was no hassle. Very much enjoyed our short stay.

Thank you for choosing the Hukapapa Lodge to stay at the beginning of the ski season. You were easy to work with communications and left our home in great condition.
Great little home away from home. If you are arriving late in the winter evening be prepared it takes a while to warm up. Once warm it is great. Heaps of blankets and cosy beds.

Thank you for taking good care of our home. We will turn the unit heaters on prior to guest arrival.
We enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing stay. The home was clean and well equipped with everything to make a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. The location was also very convenient, close to Whakapapa ski field and other good walks in the area. Clear communications made it easy to access the property. We would not hesitate to recommend this property to others.
Thank you !!
This was a difficult stay. The house sits so close to the road that the whole building shakes when heavy vehicles pass by, which is often. It was hard to sleep under these conditions, and not very pleasant to be in the house when awake.
Nice little place tucked in Raurimu. Beds were nice and comfortable, kitchen was well-equipped, and all round the place was cozy. The only thing I think could have been improved was the heating, as a couple of the heaters were getting a bit old and weren't as effective. Overall however a really pleasant place to get away to, and it served us well.
Thank you, the unit worked well for our requirements.

A slice of rural NZ with the benefit of being close to a alpine playground.

The house was clean, just the shower tray/ waste needed attention. Thanks
This was a great place to just crash at the end of a long days skiing, and close enough to the mountain to be able to get up without the queues, thanks!

Raurimu
All the essentials were there. The house even heated up quite nicely. A few additional touches would have made it excellent. For example, tea and coffee, bin liners, salt and pepper etc. When we arrived the house did smell awfully musty, maybe a fragrant candle can be supplied to overcome the smell. Lastly, the house did shake a bit when trucks went by, but there's not much I think that can be done about that. Overall still a pretty nice stay.

Close to Whakapapa
Raurimu is handy to Whakapapa, only 20 minutes drive. Place is ok, amenities are good, simple but good. Unfortunate that we didn't know it was Ohakune Mardi Gras weekend. Loud music from next door on the same property all night. The people staying there were nice guys though and did tell us things were going to be loud. Neighbouring house is very close. Thanks Adrian
