This will be quick because I keep running out of time to review but we loved this place a lot so I want to chime in! In short (turns out nothing short about it..): true to description, listen to Tim’s advice, leave time to explore the region, Tongariro Crossing is hard but amazing, kitchen is really well equipped (whole place is so functional you can tell it was lived in before being rented out), beds are comfy, property is gorgeous, good selection of games, take boulles to play out the back in the orchard, beautiful bird life, go to hot springs on the way home if you do a strenuous climb, wooden houses are creaky so keep that in mind when sorting out room configurations, and most importantly book this place for as many days as you can you won’t regret it. We loved it. Couple & family of 4 for 3 nights in Oct 2020. Thanks for having us & take care!! We’ll be back.
