Wife and I stayed for eight nights fishing the winter spawn run and loved it. It's rustic, warm, dry and comfortable with everything we needed, no tv or radio so we had to talk to each other and tie flys :)
Its a perfect fishing batch for two and a fantastic location.
2 min walk to the TT, 10 min drive to the Tongariro and a 15 min drive to the Hinemaiaia river, burgers and hot food available next door at the small gas station was a bonus. What more could a fisherman want!

Pauline is really easy to get along with and a lovely person, nothing was a problem, her home made chicken and veggie soup was grouse after a long wet day fishing. 5 Stars.
Thanks for having us Pauline, B and I will defiantly be back.
