My girlfriend and I only stayed one night after the Tongariro crossing.
We stumbled across Philips apartment and with the lack of reviews we almost didn’t book it, I gathered he only just started Airbnb, however after our stay I couldn’t be happier with our choice and went with our guts.
Philips home is beautiful, modern and clean. It has a back garden area as well. The beds were super comfy and it has everything you need, thoughtful touches by Philip even included tips about the local area and also supermarket times etc.
We never met Philip but gave clear instructions on how to find and access the apartment.
They do have a cat and a dog but we did not mind one bit! They are free to roam around the back garden and myself, had a play with the two animals they were extremely well behaved.
The only con (but we didn’t mind at all) is that you can hear when people are walking upstairs in the apartment above, but It didn’t bother us at all but for some I can see this being a con.
Don’t be put off from the lack of reviews, I would highly recommend this place!
Thank you Philip!!
