My wife and I chose to stay here for 2 nights as we were hiking the tongariro crossing and wanted something quieter than national park village but still within early morning driving distance! The location was perfect. Weston & Annette's cabin was immaculately clean, quiet, and peaceful. For two people, it was the perfect amount of cozy. We arrived quite late but our hosts were beyond patient and accommodating despite the hour. Taumarunui is only a 5 minute drive away and we were pleasantly surprised by it's quality - there's some great places to eat there. Although we did not have time to fish the scenic river or enjoy the outdoor bathtub, both looked like a lot of fun. This is a great place offered up by two great people.
