Ian and Hana are true gems and represent the best of authentic local experience. Clean linen, comfortable bed, nice shower and good food are provided of course. But Hana and Ian are both incredibly nice and knowledgeable about the area. Ian is also a great musician and very interesting to talk with. The location makes a good base for Tongariro park and there is fishing in the river behind the house. Try to get Ian to play piano for you, it's a real treat.
