Jude and her family were wonderful hosts, even though we were only visiting for a brief one-night stay ahead of walking the Tongariro Crossing (the location was great for this) we felt very welcomed and there was plenty of information on offer and some great discounts that Jude had arranged with local restaurants. The self-contained apartment was spotless, very well furnished and very comfortable, during our winter stay we were very cosy. we also enjoyed the extra, unique touch of a piano in the apartment. Would thoroughly recommend without any hesitation. Thanks for a great stay!
