The place is amazing - clean, cosy with nice touches around the house and has everything we needed. Location is convenient to do the Tongariro crossing.
Richard is a gem! He is an extremely sweet and thoughtful host. The breakfast was generous. On the first night, he sat us down to prep us for Tongariro crossing for the next day to make sure that we are well prepared and ready for the hike. We took longer than expected for the crossing and he even drove out to look for us!
He also lent us his mountain bikes and recommended a cycling trail to us. We had an incredible stay at his place and it felt right at home. Would definitely highly recommend his place to stay to anyone visiting the area.
