What a wonderful stay! The place is absolutely beautiful, a cottage with everything you could need: fully equipped kitchen, comfortable bed, 2 huge TVs, fast Wi-Fi and a great patio with garden and a private spa! All with a wonderful view of the mountains around! Everything was sparkling clean, a big breakfast was provided as well as fruits, snacks and self-made biscuits. The location is gorgeous and extremely quiet at night, it’s a perfect place to stay for exploring the Tongariro area or doing the Tongariro Crossing. And the spa is a dream after such a long hike! Diane & Hamish are great hosts, really nice and friendly, made us feel at home and gave us really useful tips about the area and other places in the North Island. We definitely recommend it, don’t miss such a gem!
