A place we could have easily moved in. We chose this because we had to do some remote working and wished for some space and quiet while being close to hikes for winding down. It was perfect. Apart from the house, which was even better than the pictures, we loved the Rice bar and restaurant and the hike to the waterfall, which is unmissable! Tongariro crossing was a highlight of our trip. Other than that unfortunately there's not much in town, but we didn't mind as we had to work anyway. Eileen came by to say hi and was adorable!
