The hut is incredibly well-equipped, giving it a very homey and comfortable feel. We loved the cozy atmosphere of the hut itself as well as the beauty of the entire property. The hut was the perfect place to spend a rainy afternoon after hiking the Tongariro crossing—we were able to warm up and read by the fire, and then cook for ourselves in the full kitchen with the pots and pans provided. Sitting outside on the porch for breakfast and looking out on the mountains in the morning was a highlight, and visits from the dog were an added bonus! We would love to stay at the hut again, and would recommend it to anyone visiting Raurimu!
