Stayed here for 2 nights. Was one of our best stays in NZ mostly because of the hosts and the location. Both Luigi and Jude are genuinely nice people who are positive, caring, kind and hospitable. Beautiful view of the mountain, so calm, quiet and peaceful. No light pollution so you can see the stars at night and just sit outside with a glass of wine (or not) and take it all in. Bed is comfortable and shower pressure is great. Wi-Fi is adequate but if you're spending too much time on your devices in a place like this, you've got it all wrong. Diesel is an amazing dog and super friendly. Loved the sheep and calves too. 5 mins from town - decent eating options. Blind Finch has decent burgers. Mains at Cyprus tree are not too bad. Small New World grocery store also 5 mins from this house. 35 mins from Tongariro national park - several great hikes there. Would love to spend a week here next time.
