We went to tell karangahake area for the gorgexealks. This is the best possible base for tbese walks. The cottage has amazing views, was well appointed and warm. We ate on the verandah every day. Nigel was very informative and helpful, telling us about the walks and the history of the gold and silver mining in the area. Go on the Windows Walk and see Owharoa Falls. We had a swIm there. Thanks !
