This home was the perfect base for us to explore the area and hike the Tongariro Crossing. There were 11 of us and I was nervous about finding accommodation for such a large group, but there were enough beds/blankets/towels and most importantly communal space for us all to be comfortable. We were close enough to walk to 4 Square, dinner, the ski shop, and the pick-up for the shuttle to Tongariro Crossing is just five minutes away. Highly recommended!
