Richard and Bella are the nicest host we ever had in our RBNB experience. We felt home in his beautiful house with this lovely vintage decoration. He gave us many advices about Tongariro region and we would have loved to get time to discuss about travel and so on. We stayed only one night as we didn't have many time in NZ but I would advice you to stay two nights to really enjoy the breathtaking landscapes around and this beautiful place.
