A wonderful place to be! We enjoyed the grounds with the deer, the gorgeous view through the huge windows and the nicely furnished rooms tremendously. The kitchen was well equipped and we missed nothing at all.
The place is a very good base for walks in the Tongariro National Park and even in bad weather there is a lot to do and to see (not only because of the huge DVD collection and the many books in the house). The little supermarket in National Park Village is well stocked and the two restaurants serve reasonable food, so everything was really good.
Recommend it!
