Beautiful spot on the edge of Ohakune. We went for the Tongariro Crossing but there were lots of other great things to do and see close by.
The start of the Crossing is an easy 40 min drive away. We also enjoyed a stunning mountain bike trail and some nice meals in local restaurants. Well worth the 3 day stopover on our road trip.
Jude and Luigi were great hosts who really looked after us. Their place had everything we needed. Really nice living area with breakfast station (which Jude keeps well stocked up), great shower and comfortable bed. We loved Diesel the friendly lab too.
