A cozy wood-burning fireplace will keep the cottage nice and warm. A full-width deck across the living area will provide a seamless indoor/outdoor flow.
Just a 50 m walk through the bush from the cottage is a clearing where you can sit and watch the sun go down over Mt Ruapehu.

The bathroom has a fully tiled spacious walk-in shower and two side-by-side freestanding baths. The baths are positioned so you can look out into the bush in total privacy. Double vanities are provided should two couples travel together, each couple can have their own space.
