A perfect place to based to explore this area whether summer or winter (skiing, the Tongariro Alpine Crossing and other Adventures). Richard and Stacey’s house is a well-appointed and comfortable house with all the necessary amenities. From the comfortable beds, linen, rooms, fireplace, spa and coffee machine we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back for a longer period. Richard is prompt with his responses and communication was great. A great time was had by all.
