This beautiful home overwhelmed our expectations and Verna's knowledge of the area was outstanding. On a personal note, her genuine kindness touched us when our walk was cancelled on the Tongariro Northern Circuit due bad weather. The breakfast was amazing with a choice of local produce. Toast, cereals, yogurt, homegrown fruit and yummy preserves. Verna is a lovely host who made us feel very welcome and her home had that 'home away from home' feeling, would definitely return. Highly recommended.
