Long weekend at the mountain
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.

Good quiet location
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.

Cozy and warm
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.

About the host

Hosted by JenTris

Host profile image
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.
