Alice's home is only about 40 minutes from the Tongariro National Park. It is a very pretty ex railway cottage, with superb views across the river valley. Alice was a wonderful host, she made us feel welcome and 'at home' instantly.
Our accommodation was in an annexe and completely self contained. We were delighted with it, it was very comfortable and tastefully decorated. Alice had been very thoughtful about the extra touches that she provided.
Around the two properties was plenty of outdoor space where we could barbecue and take in the views. We loved sitting and chatting with Alice in the evening, but there was the option to sit alone had we wanted to.
We consider ourselves fortunate to have found Alice's place, it is a real 'gem' and we would have no hesitation in recommending it to others.
