Mark's place is such an awesome stay, we couldn't recommend it highly enough! The space is so easy to relax in with a big TV, pool table, comfy couches, well equipped kitchen, lovely bathroom and cosy bedroom. The best part about the property, though, is the beautiful views! The views over rolling hills can be soaked in from the hot tub, a very nice addition. Mark was an absolutely wonderful host. He is the friendliest man, very welcoming and hospitable, and made sure we had everything we could need. We had great chats, Mark showed us around the property and we had a great time chatting over a couple of beers on our last evening. Otorohanga is a nice little town and we were never stuck for something to do with the Kiwi House, Waitomo Caves, Mangapohue Natural Bridge, Marokopa Falls, Piripiri Caves and Ruakuri Bushwalk all right on the doorstep. We had dinner at Jasmine Thai on the main street of Otorohanga on one of the nights and it was fantastic food. Overall, this was a truly excellent stay!!
