Boar’s Den is absolutely magical. The setting is peaceful and beautiful (we laid out to watch the stars one night and it was breathtaking). The home is SO comfortable and cozy- we got such amazing sleep after days of adventure. Julie is quick to respond to any needs and showed us amazing hospitality! The location was perfect for traveling to Hobbiton, Auckland and the Tongariro Crossing National Park area. They also have really cute dogs, which we were excited about as well. Only downside? We did NOT want to leave!!!
