About this property

Kosbys Cottage, nestled in the heart of Tongariro for all the best adventures!

Kosbys Cottage, Tongariro provides excellent value for money, offering ample space for families (children over 2 years old) or small groups of friends. A snug retreat during winter, thanks to a very efficient wood-burner (there is no heat pump). The spacious couch is perfect for unwinding, while the well-equipped kitchen, resembling that of a caterer’s, includes an espresso machine and opens out onto a charming patio area with a barbecue, herb garden, and stunning vistas.

Lovely cottage, and a nice quiet neighbourhood with friendly locals. Heaps of room and facilities, needed the fire a couple of nights which was so warm. Would love to stay again in the future, thanks Sara.

Perfect Getaway Home - Our Second Stay Was Just as Amazing!

This was our second stay at Kosby's Cottage, and just like the fist time, it was nothing short of amazing! The home was impeccably clean and well-appointed, with every amenity we could possibly need. The living space was spacious and comfortably furnished, making it a perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring. The kitchen was fully equipped, allowing us to cook meals with ease. We especially loved the cozy bedrooms, which offered a restful retreat with plush bedding and serene decor. The location was ideal, offering tranquility and privacy while still being conveniently close to local attractions and amenities. The hosts were incredibly attentive and responsive, providing us with excellent communication and ensuring our stay was as enjoyable as possible. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality truly made our vacation special. It was the perfect getaway for relaxation, adventure, and quality time with loved ones. We can't wait to return and create more wonderful memories here. Highly recommended!

Cozy, Lived-In Family Base Near Ohakune

This little villa is about 10 minutes’ drive from Ohakune, in a small, quiet settlement — a nice escape from the busier town centre.The house feels warm and cozy, great for a family stay, though it's definitely on the well-used side. Don’t expect anything pristine or newly renovated — it’s got a bit of wear and tear, but that can be a good thing when you’re travelling with kids and don’t want to be too precious about things.The kitchen is well equipped and easy to cook in, although the oven was a bit tricky (the buttons are completely worn off). The fireplace was a big plus — it kept the house comfortably warm and there was plenty of wood supplied.Beds were comfortable and linen was clean. The bathroom is nothing fancy, but clean and totally fine. Having Netflix and free Wi-Fi was a real bonus, especially on rainy days.Considering the price, it’s good value for money — especially for a family trip where comfort and practicality matter more than polish. The weather didn’t do us any favours, but the house was a decent base to hang out in, and we still managed a few little walks and a visit to the Ohakune climbing wall between downpours.
