Don't let the photos fool you. This place is super awesome even if it looks rustic. We had the best time with 7 people and had room to spare. Did the tramp across tongariro and found this to be a fantastic base. Tim and Ewan were fantastic hosts and were fantastic at letting us know where to eat and how to get about. Great senses of humour and a super comfortable relaxing place to stay. Will definitely let our friends know as this is a hidden gem!!!
