The studio is comfortable, the position absolutely great: close to the lake, 10 minutes from "craters of the moon", 30 minutes from "waiotapu", 45 minutes from "waimangu" and 1 hour approximately from the Ngauruhoe volcano. It is a perfect base for exploring the area. Plus: next to the house (approx. 100m) there are a convenience store and a bar/restaurant. Strongly suggested.
