Will and I loved staying at Richards BnB. He was a wonderful host, really helpful and great to have a chat with. We were the first canyoners to stay with him and he leapt at the chance to help us wash our wetsuits and kit after a long day and hear about our adventures. He even bought a map in Taupo for the area we needed for Navigator Canyon in while we were out in a canyon! He has some excellent life stories and is a really caring person. Tūrangi is an excellent base for canyons in the Tongariro National Park area and loads of other activities too. Would definitely go back!
