Richard‘s studio is the perfect base for the Tongariro Crossing! There is even a small folder with a lot of information on the crossing. Richard greeted us upon our arrival and we loved the style of the place as well as the freshly baked bread! The studio is really big and has everything you need. Breakfast is included and all set up for you to just help yourself. If you are lucky and weather is fine, you might even be able to see some mountains in the morning or evening. Thanks Richard for this great experience! We highly recommend it to anyone doing the crossing. Most suppliers even offer a pickup from Ohakune. Lot of places to eat out or takeaway, too.
