Hands down our favorite place we stayed while traveling in New Zealand! First, the hosts were absolutely fantastic and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was an enjoyable one. They were so kind, offered great suggestions and conversation, a crossing shuttle and home made meals! We felt spoiled being here. Second, the Airbnb itself was just pure magic. We enjoyed the lodge set up, especially the outdoor bath. This was a luxury after completing the Tongariro trek. The surroundings are beautiful and the bush walk to the river is a must do. Can’t beat booking a spot this lovely with amazing hosts!
