- "We stayed for only one night but we were happy with the hotel. Check-in process was quick; front desk staff was super friendly. We booked a room for four which had stairs. There was a portable heater at the lower floor which worked great and managed to warm up both floors considerably. The bathroom was a little small, but not a big inconvenience for a 1-night stay. The walls are a little thin and you can hear the next room, so if you are an early or light sleeper, might be good to put on some ear plugs! Pity we did not have time to try out the hot tubs in the courtyard; they looked fun."

Traverse Cabin is a purpose built holiday home in National Park Village.
With super comfortable beds in all three double bedrooms (including 2x double beds with single bunk above), full insulation, double glazing and heat pump, the cabin is a very warm, dry and inviting home away from home after a great day skiing, tramping, cycling, fishing or whatever adventure you are returning from.
Being only 20 minutes from either one of the three highlights of the region: Whakapapa ski field; the world famous Tongariro Alpine Crossing; and one of New Zealand's top mountain bike tracks the 42nd Traverse, you will be able to return home, relax and still have time to sit back and enjoy views of Mt Ruapehu from the lounge and deck.
Should you require a shuttle service to your days activity, you will find the cabin is just a five minute walk to either the summer transfers to the Tongariro Crossing, and to the winter shuttles to the top of the ski field road.
Please note: there is a selection of board games, books and cards for our guests to enjoy. Also if a game is on, the local pub is a fun venue to watch the action and then stagger home! (it's only a 3 minute walk or 5 minute stagger).
Linen:

If you are Planning on doing the Tongariro Crossing go to this Link and these lovely locals can help you get there - pick you up from the lodge take you to the start of the Crossing and pick you up at the end simple
- "We were really happy with the accomodation, impressed by the views, was really clean with amazing bathrooms. All the facilities and little details were available, super cozy and warm. Very sunny during the day, we loved it and the location to other amenities was awesome! We'd definitely pick this place again. The only slight negative I'd say was that there was everything we needed like blankets/electric blankets so therefore we wish we hadn't have felt the need to load our vehicle up with extra duvets etc when we didn't need to. I think this was just the host being concerned for our comfort so in no way a major thing but we'd bring less next time. Overall we feel like we were very looked after by Vanessa."

Four hours from Auckland and a little more from Wellington.

- "Great location and house was lovely and spacious. Great fire place and great to have a drying room after skiing so hang up all our wet gear. Also great that there were some pantry staples that we could use after forgetting sugar and flour. Only comment - needs tea towels. They ask that all dishes are dried and put away but supply no tea towels to do so. Overall - great stay! We all loved it."
