Richard is the best host a traveler can expect.
More than perfect. He helps each guest, answer any questions, helps in everything and I do not have enough words to describe.
I think that without him I would not finish the Tongariro alpine crissing - he prepered me vey well for this experience (as he does for everyone).
The house and rooms are terrific. The kitchen is great. As a bonus - one meets other travelers.
If you are going to the Tongariro park - do not thin twice - go to this place.
Thank you so much, Richard.
