We had an amazing couple of days staying at Richard's place while we were in turangi to do the tongariro crossing. The room is large with a comfy bed and there is a full kitchen with everything you need to cook. Richard's breakfast was five stars and laid out the night before so that we could eats lots early in the morning. Best of all, Richard is an incredible host and so very friendly. I feel that nothing brings him more joy than hosting happy guests who get along well with each other. He also provided many helpful local tips. We felt so welcome here and would be delighted to stay again
