An ideal base for snow activities or for those mountain bike and walking treks, or just to catch your breath and relax . Follow us on instagram @ skishack_nz The only heating in this property is a fireplace. If you are not able to light a fire, then maybe this property is not for you. There is no wifi.

8 / 10Excellent·Jan 2026
Good amenities. Liked having a toilet & shower on both levels.
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
Perfect accommodation, close to the ski field and returned to start the fire which quickly warmed up the whole house. Will definitely be recommending to others.
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
Great place to stay, the fire is a nice touch and keeps the place toasty and warm
6 / 10Average·Aug 2021
Pleasant, if a bit dated, the property is a work in progress, which is progressively being renovated, so a little “rough “ in places, but fine.
The two bathrooms are fabulous, as is the underfloor heating which is amazing and keeps the property really comfortable.
There was everything we could want for cooking in the kitchen.
Disappointing was the very,VERY long cleaning list, ( provided only after we had paid in full) from asking guests to clean toilets, showers , stove/ microwave/ toaster/ fridge/sweep/vacuum, mop, strip beds,fill up fire wood and sweep verandah.
I’m not sure what the “service fee” is for?
