We came to do a bit of hiking around Lake Waikaremoana and left making new friends. Jane and Leon are a lovely couple and offer a wealth of information about Te Urewera and the people that live there. We enjoyed a lovely night exchanging stories by the fire. Their place is warm and cozy and has an interesting history. It is truly more than 'just a place to stay'. We will most certainly be back when we return to the area.
