Imogen's place is a great home base for activities in Tongariro national park. We had great weather when we were there and didn't actually spend a lot of time in the house. But even if you got snowed in or rained it, it looked like Imogen has stocked the house will with games and books. The house is very convenient to restaurants in National Park - it's an easy walk to Schnapps Bar (recommended) or The Park hotel. I would give it 5 stars except the beds were a little uncomfortable. The rule to take the trash with you when you leave is also inconvenient since the refuse station has limited hours.
