We did really enjoy our stay at Jim's place. At first I was really sceptical, because Rangiwahia is really remote. But there are so many things to do: we did both nearby hiking tours through the scenic reserve, did swim in the river and visited the Rangiwahia hut. The hiking possibilities are really good. Even for small kids (ours are 3 & 6).
Jim did really help us out by providing lots of tips for tours and things we could enjoy with our kids. The place is really calm and cozy. We really enjoyed our stay at Jim's place.
