We booked Kara's place mainly because of the hot tub that was quite a welcome end to a long and cold day on Mt. Tongariro, and were surprised by the lovely place itself. A gorgeous home on a hill with a view of the town and hills around, it is very comfortable, modern and well-furnished. Not to mention Kara being very accommodating and willing to work with us on timing. I would highly recommend a stay here to everyone in the Turangi area!
