Alastair’s place was fantastic! He is super friendly and was a great host. My husband and I really enjoyed talking with him and learning more about the area and New Zealand! The view from the house is beautiful and even better in person than in the photos (if that is possible)! He gave us a ton of local recommendations, including several hike options when we decided we didn’t feel like doing the super long Tongariro Crossing hike. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend staying with Alastair!
