Lovely house near Whakarewarewa Forest, it is an ideal base for people who love morning walk or jog. I did my 5km easy jog to and into the forest. Mark is a friendly host, we happened to meet him on arrival (he lives next door) and he helped us with our luggage and showed us to the house. He also makes very good bread, he gave us a big loaf of bread each day. Really good. Highly recommended.
