What you see is what you get, and that's a great thing because we had a wonderful experience at Barbara's place! Barbara is super friendly and easy to get in touch with. From our arrival to our departure, everything was what we needed. Do take advantage of the visitor book as we and others have left recommendations during your stay. Our personal favorite was the Lake Tarawera trail. It was a 9.5 mile (15 km) hike around the lake. Take it to the end and you will be treated to a lovely dip in the hot water beach. Take the water taxi back to The Landing. Enjoy your stay and thank you Barbara for your wonderful hospitality, we will see you next time we are in NZ!
