As a fisherman, when you find a good spot, you're loathe to share it. Richard's place is a great secret of Turangi. Well suited for fishing the river and the lake, as well as the Tongariro Crossing and other attractions. It's a 'period house' but is amazingly clean and well maintained. Richard is a great host who goes consistently above and beyond. And Bella the dog is lovely! I'll be back!
