Wow this was a stunning, super cosy, quiet studio cottage full of character and charm! Our host Biddy had lit the fire in advance so the place was warm & inviting when we arrived for our mid-winter weekend break. The spacious deck looks over the hills to far reaching views and we caught a breath taking sunrise including clear views of Ruapehu, Ngauruhoe & Tongariro. The kitchen is cute, small and fun to cook in and the provided breakfast included cereals, yoghurt, bread, condiments and tea/coffee/milk. The bedroom with wood burner fire and dining table with window seats was romantic and the perfect place to relax. Nearby bouldering was within a few minutes easy walk and Biddy & Rich gave great advice how to make the most of the area. Would definitely recommend this place - its a gem!
