Self check-in

Check yourself in with the lockbox.
Comfortable cosy cottage beside Mt Ruapehu. Ideal for bikers, Tongariro Crossing hikers or photographers exploring the local scenery. Independent so you can come and go at will. Full kitchen (though basic with retro fridge and no dishwasher), TV, DVDs and Chromecast, unlimited wifi, laundry, heating & aircon.
One double room and one room with 2 singles (that can push together), plus a couch bed in the living room and a travel cot. From mid-May to Oct book 'Shannon Cottage (winter)' instead.

The space
The cottage is bright, clean and spacious - not modern but comfortable. No dishwasher but a good-size fridge (like your Gran had) with freezer. We're eco-friendly with solar panels and if you plan to arrive by train we can pick you up at the station in our electric car. The house is all one level with easy access, lots of parking and storage space. We can mind luggage while you walk the Crossing or go kayaking on the Whanganui River, and there's drying space for wet gear. Our summer season is mid-October to mid-May. For winter bookings go to our other listing - Shannon Cottage (winter) - where the property is managed in our absence.

Guest access
The cottage is fully self-contained and you're welcome to enjoy the garden. There's a BBQ under cover on the deck. Town is 15 minutes' walk away for cafes, restaurants and supermarket.
