This place was the perfect base for the Tongariro Alpine crossing, only a twenty min drive to our shuttle pick up (Ketetahi). We loved the bikes that were available that we used to ride into town. There was a heat wave, so the place being in direct sunlight was a sauna. We had little relief even with the multiple fans. Luckily the yard served as a nice place to relax in the shade. Great furnishings and stylish decor. Pillows on beds aren't the best. Despite the uncontrollable heat and pillows, I would definitely recommend this place!
