Perfect location. Spacious and everything you could need in the house. Owner is great to deal with. We stayed for 2 months whilst working away and it was the perfect property for the team. Wonderful walks near by.
I wasnt able to stay however my family who.i was going with did, they said it was a great stay, everything was easy to use and get into (locks etc). Thanks for the loveky stay at ur property
We enjoyed our stay at The Barn, a great set up for whānau and loved how good the fire was at heating the whole whare. Good location to access Whakapapa and Tūroa Skifields &Taupō
Property manager was awesome to deal with and made the place available so we could have friends from Auckland here for my sons 5th birthday. Property looks better in person then photos online! Would definitely book again
Beautiful property, great location, had everything we needed and more, stacked firewood for the fire when it was chilly, games for the kids, an extra big fridge in the garage, comfy beds, ample parking, two showers, two toilets, a hang out space for the kids upstairs with DVDs to watch, little kitchenette (not that we used it but it was nice) with small fridge. loved the place was very nice
This is a lovely home in a location that suited our needs. The kitchen is well supplied and the fireplace lovely on those cold mornings. The beds are comfortable and bathrooms are nice. Having the washer and clothesline was very helpful to us, as well. Jen was very easy to communicate with.
We stayed with my sister and her family, 8 of us in total. The Barn was clean and well set up. It had everything we needed to make for an enjoyable long weekend of Skiing, catching up with family and a small birthday celebration for two of the children! Communication with the owner was easy. Would definitely choose again for our next weekend in the snow.
The house is great. Really warm and cozy and tidy. Close to town and dog friendly which was awesome to be able to have our dog with us. Had lots of things included which was lovely (board games, wifi, firewood, linen, towels, pantry items etc). Great hosts very kind and communicative which was appreciated. Only problem we had was at the time of our stay a neighbour would blast music that shook the house late nights and early morning making it hard to sleep.
We actually ask for an electric heater due to previous experience and we have 2 babies under one. But the house was really warm and tidy and have all that we needed including rice cooker. We would love to come back to this place the next time we are heading to Turangi.
Excellent location in Turangi... close to Mt Tongariro.
Accomodation had all the facilities that we required. Clean, tidy , modern, comfy and cosy.
We would definitely book again if we plan the same location in the future.
Excellent organising, prompt booking and planning with the owner.
Much appreciated.
Such a lovely bach to stay at, and super easy communication.

About the host
Hosted by JenTris
We live north of Wellington and have recently acquired The Barn as our holiday home to be closer to family and friends who are splattered across the North Island. When we are not using it ourselves we like to share it with other keen travellers, families and groups.
Why they chose this property
We love being close to the mountains and Taupo lake. Being in between Auckland and Wellington also means that we can catch up with friends and family a lot more often because we can meet halfway.
What makes this property unique
Minutes drive to lakes, mountains and hot pools. Ideal base for the Tongariro Crossing, skiing, snowboarding, river rafting, mountain biking, hiking, fishing, and so much more.
