We spent 2 nights at the thoughtfully decorated and designed 'Eco House' at ZIta's place. It was a perfect base for the Tongariro Crossing and exploring the surrounding area. The house was mostly self-contained with a clean and comfortable outdoor shower and toilet just outside, a kettle and very cosy bed. We also had access to the kitchen in the house if we wanted. There was a beautiful garden at the property and it was nice to enjoy a meal outside.
Zita and her family were very welcoming and warm people and provided us with many tips for our trip.
We recommend this place without hesitation :)
