Elizabeth and Mark have a fantastic AirBnb called the Shearer's Quarters. Situated on a large sheep farm, the accommodation comprises the refurbished original sheep shearers quarters. It comprises 6 bedrooms, 2 separate bathrooms, and a beautiful large kitchen/diningroom/lounge area with a magnificent Lady Kitchener woodburner. The views are idyllic.
If you are after a tranquil environment to relax in, yet want to be close enough to the action of Mt Ruapehu and other adventure activities, this is the place for you. Regards. Ian
