Our stay at Munro's place was great: the house was very nice and very well located for the Tongariro alpine crossing hike. Munro is a very nice guy, he cooked a very good diner for us on the night we arrived.He also drove us to the start of the tongariro alpine crossing hike and picked us up at the end of the hike. So I would definitely recommand to stay at Munro's because he's a great guy! And we had the pleasure to meet his dog!
