Brilliant place to stay, like walking into a museum of 1970s homes. Perfect location for doing the Tongariro crossing, we had a shuttle pick us up and drop us off from the front door. Richard the host is a top bloke, couldn't be more accommodating, friendly and helpful (even laid out breakfast the night before for our early start). If you're thinking of doing the Tongariro crossing or even a little local fly fishing then this is the perfect place to stay. Only a shame we couldn't stay longer!
