Great stay at a warm and welcoming house

Had a great time at Plateau Cottage. Really clean and perfectly set up for families - lots of space, fenced section and play equipment. Really warm home - we had the fireplace cranking in the evenings and it warmed the house up really quickly. Also had everything you need (kitchen basics, cleaning supplies, baby change mat etc). We loved our stay here and would gladly come back for future snow trips. Thanks Karen!

This is a perfect spot and a nice modern house with everything you could possibly need.

This is a perfect spot and a nice modern house with everything you could possibly need. We just shot down for a days skiing, and it was nice to be able to relax for the evening in front of the fire and enjoy a yummy roast. Saved money by not having to go out. Scooted down the back road to Ohakune which took no time at all. Cant wait to stay again. Awesome and thanks.

Warm and Cosy

We really enjoyed our stay - we had terrible weather, not much good for getting up the mountain, so it was excellent that we had a very well insulated and heated house to stay in, with lots of firewood in the woodshed, great kitchen facilities, and space for everyone to be inside but not be tripping over each other. Rangataua is a great wee spot too - nice and quiet, but close to Ohakune for the supermarket, etc.
