Margaret’s place was awesome. The village was small and cute and the views breath-taking. The hike to the Tupapakurua Falls Lookout was beautiful and took 4-5 hours, walkable from the house.
Else it’s hard to get somewhere without a car but Margaret and the people of the village were so friendly and tried to help as much as they could. Shuttles for the Tongariro crossing available every day tho.
