The 8 of us (two families with 4 kids aged 11-15) had an amazing time. The bach was a short stroll to the shuttle to take us to the Tongariro Crossing, close to a dairy for milk and papers, spacious, clean, warm and well equipped. The spa pool was great - particularly after 8 hours tramping. And stunning views of the moon rise over Ngauruhoe from the road. Happily recommend it!
