Went up to Whakapapa last Friday, amazing, lots of snow. The staff were just fantastic. It was a great experience. The restaurant was lovely and clean. All the staff were welcoming. I hope everything is sorted for next year. What a well run business. The lifties were so great holding the seat back for us. I have nothing but praise for the team at Whakapapa and the facilities. And the snow was amazing, brilliant day.
