Lindy's house is the perfect place if you are going hiking in Tongariro! We stayed for two nights and did the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, a rally great hike! The weather was cold and pretty windy on the top, but a fantastic experience! Remember to bring a hat and gloves! We used the Tongariro shuttle and it worked fine. The near by YHA, which also is the pick up place for the shuttle, has wifi if you ned it. The house and communication with Lindy worked perfect!
