Barb and Michael were so warm and welcoming. They showed me to my private quarters and helped me organize my Tongariro Crossing departure and needs. The room I stayed in was very cozy and it was nice to do research for my travels while being tucked in there. The bathroom is spacious and the shower has excellent water pressure!! Especially needed after the Tongariro Crossing! Michael made me coffee and breakfast each morning and I really enjoyed my chats with them both! I will have to return for kayaking on their beautiful lake, just steps from their home! The location is truly ideal. Excellent!
