We stayed at the cottage for several nights as a couple in Feb 2018. The cottage was great - exactly as advertised: separate cottage, full kitchen, 3 min drive to the town with restaurants and supermarkets. The location was a perfect base for us to do our hike at the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. Deirdrei and Richard were super nice. They even provided a fresh loaf of bread, freshly squeezed orange juice, milk, and cereal upon arrival! Thanks so much for everything!
