I'm sure you can guess there is great skiing accommodation right there at the ski fields.
But have you considered living off the ski field as an alternative choice for your snowboarding lodging? This is especially relevant if you have family members who may not enjoy skiing as much as you do!
While there are many advantages in staying on the ski fields such as the convenience and ease of getting going in the morning and finishing up at night and perhaps the apres ski events, it can be both expensive and little boring for some people especially if you have younger ones in the skiing party.
So here's the option for you personally when you're thinking about Whakapapa skiing - you can accomodate yourself in the Kuratau Holiday Retreat. Kuratau is less than 1 hour from the ski-field and you could get the best of both worlds when you choose this Whakapapa accomadation. Enjoy your skiing and enjoy some of the following benefits as well.
First there is the famous Tokaanu geothermal hot pools. Let me tell you that is nothing better and coming down off the mountain and soaking a private geothermal hot pools for an hour or so before you go home to your lakeside accommodation and enjoy a barbecue dinner and a few drinks with your friends and family. Much better than staying on the mountain in your Whakapapa accommodation.
Then you have access to the lake of course, for fishing, white water rafting and boating in the evening or the days where the weather is just not conducive skiing.
And if some shopping or other entertainment takes your fancy, Taupo township is just over 1 hour away by car.
And there are many other things you can do. Here are just a few:
* A scenic Cruise on Lake Taupo
* Ride the Huka falls in a jet boat
* Go white water rafting about the Tongariro river
* Get a therapeutic massage
* Play golf
* Take a guided trout fishing tour
* Drive a formula challenge or V8 race car
* Go mountain biking
Would you be able to do all that as easily of your Whakapapa accommodation was about the mountain?
The Kuratau Holiday Retreat has facilities to easily home two families of four or two couples or groups of friends if you go snowboarding in a group.
It is right beside the Kuratau boat ramp and has plenty of outdoor room, and barbecue with cook your fish! And last of all there are great views from the lake.
So if you thinking skiing and are looking for a broader range of opportunities in your holiday consider the option for your Whakapapa accommodation and give the proprietor a call to make a booking.
