Guest Reviews

• Sandii (8/5): Amazing magical spot Horopito is a special spot on the earth amazing stars and gentle spirit! - The breakfast was lovely and very much appreciated being out of town. The spot is total magic Just a bit of feedback that would totally change the place...The cold LED lighting is terribly harsh and almost ruins the gorgeous natural setting and mood , I would highly recommend investing in good quality lighting at this special place. Also there was lovely thoughtful notes for eg. the bath oils and what benefits they have - but then there were none? maybe someone forgot? Overall this is a beautiful place to stay and stunning location.
• David (8/5): Pricey but good - Both Excellent Weather... not your fault
• Nico (10/5): Excellent, we’ll be back! - Neatly situated surrounded by trees, very clean and perfect for a romantic getaway! Will come back!
• Leslie (9/5): Superb - Beautiful setting and everything you need. Baths are so so good. Wine was a nice touch. Breakfast was lacking fresh fruit yoghurt and maybe Crossiants for what you are paying.
• Mathew (7/5): Good -
• Mark (2/5): Disappointing. - Location and setting Not what was advertised. Claimed to be 5 star. Anything but. More like 2 star. Be sure to take your own firewood and kindling. Also spare gas bottle or you may not have hot water. Average and over priced. May have been nice in its day but not anymore.
• Jurnee (10/5): Amazing. Will be back every year :) - Accessibility No dry wood for fire it was freezing
• Ann (8/5): Very good -
• Anonymous (10/5): Perfect. Way bigger than the photos may portray. Beautiful view out over the ocean. Extremely clean. - Large, clean, beautiful, modern.
• Richard (10/5): Exceptional -
• Richard (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bailey (5/5): Passable -
• Isabel (9/5): Cosy house with great starsgazing - Beautiful landscape and sky, fully equipped house with all the kitchen supplies, spices, bath salts, Netflix account and great fireplace. The ceiling vents were a little bit noisy and dusted.
• Mrrob (9/5): Hidden gem for a more luxurious stay near Whakapapa Village. - Twin Baths. Fireplace with plenty of firewood. Warm/Comfortable bed. Great kitchen and appliances including an air fryer. Bathroom/Toilet freezing - heated tiles would make it a more luxury stay. More space needed for toiletries as well.
• Joshua (7/5): Good -
• Melissa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Karen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mary (10/5): Exceptional - new, spotless home. beautiful remote location. bathtubs! poor internet connection
• Conrad (10/5): Absolutely lovely hosts, presentation of property was outstanding - Food supplied was outstanding, covered everything. Double baths and supplied bath bombs and oils were fabulous. Thank you
• Simon (9/5): Superb - Location was great as where facilities. There where some lovely small touches as well. The only thing I could suggest was a couple of power points with built in chargers would have been really useful.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - My friends and I stayed at the Night Sky Cottage at the end of July. We were blown away by the cottage itself, and with the level of service provided by Elsbeth and team. The cottage was very clean, neat and cosy. Everything you could think of was provided, plus more! The kitchen was fully stocked in order to prepare breakfast and other meals. My favourite things would have to be the natural ingredient based soaps and washes, the easy to understand recycling scheme and the fireplace. The bedrooms were spacious with comfortable beds and pillows. Each was fitted with an electric blanket which was much appreciated during the cold nights. In addition to the fireplace, there were heaters throughout the cottage which kept the temperature comfortable. Elsbeth was very helpful in catering for our needs. Different dietary requirements were catered for and the fireplace was ready to light when we got there. The check in procedure was made very simply and easy. I loved the little touches like the boardgames, the candles, the torches next to your bed and the bath salts. I would high recommend Night Sky Cottage for anyone wanted to stay around Mount Ruapehu.
• Jicheol (10/5): Unique place - Perfact accomodation for a family or couple who needs rest and fresh air.
