Staying at Paul's place was lovely. His wife Gina greeted us upon arrival and gave us a bery thorough introduction about the facilities and amenities. They provided us wood and kindling for the fire and troubleshooted the tv when we couldn't get it to work. Their property ia fitted with all new appliances and is warm and cosy. They were very welcoming to the proper. This is a great location to stay if you are planning a sow trip for Mt. Ruapehu. We hope to visit them again!
