Richard was an amazing host, making us feel at home from the minute we walked in.
His house is really lovely and spacious and we had access to the entire kitchen with a fridge. Was also great to be able to do all our laundry while we were there.
To explore the area, Richard gave us great recommendations for a sunset spot by lake Taupo as well hikes that weren’t as busy/touristy at Tongariro. He gives great tips based on your interests.
Additionally, we got a lovely breakfast spread every morning waiting for us that set us up for our day! Would definitely recommend!
