Zita’s house is located in a very convenient location for Tongariro hikes. We didn’t do Tongariro Crossing but we enjoyed a lot of hikes such as the Taranaki Fall & Tama Lakes hikes. Zita gave us a lot of local information on hiking trails.
Their house & garden are so beautiful and relaxing. We stayed in a small cottage outside their house so we had a lot of privacy. Our cottage had outside shower and toilet. The water was very hot so we didn’t feel cold even when we took a shower at night :)
They kindly let us use their kitchen inside their house. You will need to drive at least 15 - 20 minutes if you want to eat out, so I recommend you bring some food for your meals.
Their place is one of my favorite AirBnB and if I visit the same region I will stay with them !!!<3
