This is a perfect place to stay for couples. Hamish and Diane made us feel right at home with their hospitality. The home is beautiful and incredibly cozy (especially the bed!). It doesn’t get much better than coming back after a long hike (like the Tongariro Crossing!) to the hot tub and a bbq or a walk through the lovely gardens with a gorgeous view of the surrounding landscape. Hamish and Diane are also super friendly and responsive with hiking tips, local recommendations, etc. We wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you Hamish and Diane for making us feel so welcome!!
