Perfect spot to stay in to explore Tongariro National Park! The home reminded me of "grandma's cabin"--rustic and a little worn, but cute and comfy with everything you need. The cabin does creak a lot, but it didn't bother me. The wifi worked GREAT after we figured out it had been turned off. The porch was a great spot to relax and listen to the birds. Lindy was very responsive and had wonderful advice for the area and hiking the park, which was greatly appreciated! We ate at The Station and Schnapps Bar and had wonderful meals at both. The village is tiny and quiet and easy to walk around. I'd definitely stay here again!
