About this property

Te Honu House - 13B Millar Street, NP village *free wifi, sky TV & Spa pool

*Major renovations October 2019&2018 - included new en-suite, new mudroom, new carport and storage lockup, new laundry, new Kitchen, deck screens, upgraded furniture and addition of spa pool & patio.

This is a very comfortable, homely and spacious holiday home - with a great layout. The heat pump and Wood burner fire provides for a wonderful warm retreat after a day on the slopes, and the wetback means plently of hot water for everone. There is plenty of firewood to keep the whole house warm and cozy. Fantastic mountain views while you dine (inside or out), do your washing and go to the loo! No need to obtain a snow report - just look out the window.

The kitchen is fully equipped with slow cooker, toasted sandwhich maker, coffee plunger etc. There is also a drying room to dy off all the wet clothes and gear.

In the summer this house is a suntrap and positioned for all day sun (so keeps warm in the winter too). National Park is also a great place to chill out, relax and unwind for a few nights away. The local cafes and resturants are great too! Awesome family friendly pub only a few minutes walk around the corner.

Perfect location just a little small for our group

Great, good value house with plenty of amenities. Would have been good to have a smart tv to login to our Netflix etc. accounts and a little more space in the lounge. Our party was nine adults which was pushing the limits a little. A standalone dryer would also have been useful.

Cozy house close to the mountains

Loved this place. We arrived late at night but the security lights made it easy to get in. The wet/mud room at the front door was good for getting out of wet gear after a day out. It was nice and warm despite it being cold out. Easy walk to the 2 restaurants and to the convenience store another block away. The spa pool was a welcome way to finish the day. Imogen the host communicated clearly and well.

Great place to explore Tongariro National Park

We stayed here for a couple of nights to explore Tongariro National Park and it was perfect for that. Easy to get to Whakapapa and to the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. Soaking in the spa after a long day of hiking was amazing. The bach is big and cozy and had everything we needed during our stay. There were just 4 of us and plenty of room, so I think it would be quite comfortable for bigger groups as well. Lots of windows letting in the sunshine and a very cozy living room. I definitely recommend staying here!

Perfect base for Tongariro Crossing

We had a great stay at Imogen's place - its a perfect base for both Tongariro Crossing and cycling the Old Coach Road, with the bonus of being able to hop in the spa pool afterwards! The house is very clean and has all that you need. It was the perfect size for our family with two teens. Great communication from Imogen and very quick response to any queries. Highly recommend a stay!
