The view was incredible; the sunsets and sunrises were gorgeous. It was even gorgeous when a storm rolled in! We loved being away from the hustle and bustle of Rororua and all the other tourists, but were close enough to drive to everywhere we wanted to go. We stayed 5 nights and still get to see and do everything we wanted to do. Phil is a great host with many good ideas of things to do and see. We would love to come back sometime.
