What a fabulous AirBNB. Barb and her husband were the most wonderful hosts--driving us to the Tongariro Crossing and back, with a cold beer at the end of the crossing and a stop at the thermal pool. They also cooked us a delicious multi-course dinner one night, and it was a pleasure to talk with them over dinner. Accommodations were a great value and solid, but what makes this a five-star were Barb and Michael being wonderfully friendly (even made us a dinner reservation so we could get a window seat!) Recommend highly for anyone going hiking/skiing/rafting in the area.
