We had a wonderful few nights at Richard’s home. The location was great with the start of the Tongariro alpine crossing nearby and other great activities/sights such as whitewater rafting, Taupo, and Rotorua easily accessible.
There was a great kitchen space to cook and on a colder evening, the fireplace in the lounge was a great way to warm up while enjoying Richard’s vinyl collection.
We really enjoyed the 70s style of the home and it was clear Richard took great care of the space. It was clean, and the bedroom was spacious with a large and comfortable bed.
Richard also gave us some great advice on how to best plan our stay in accordance with the weather. Without his help, we may not have been able to do some of the things we had planned and were very thankful! Could not recommend a stay here more and we hope to be back in the future.
