Couldn't of wished for anything better, walked the Tongariro Alpine Crossing , would of been nice to have a hot tub., only joking. Everything was fantastic. Thanks very much.
Perfect quiet location for myself and my work colleague. Comfortable rooms and everything we needed was at the property. Bruce was great to deal with and the check in process was easy. I especially liked the history of the cottage written in the front of the Visitors Book and the old family photos around the house.
Lovely cosy bach with everything we needed for a family holiday, including a couple of board games. Short drive to Turangi shops, Tokaanu got pools and Lake Rotopounamu.
Our second time here and it is a great place to stay. The owner, Bruce, is really helpful and makes every effort to ensure your stay is all it could be.I would strongly recommend this property for long or short stay.
Great spot for anyone looking to be on the right side of town and within walking distance to the Tongariro River.

Disliked: Listing accuracy
Nice little place, the host was very good. But the aircon was broken which made the hot summer days stifling and unpleasant. You cannot advertise the property as having aircon if it is broken. Also, the bathroom tap was leaking and very noisy - a bit annoying when trying to sleep. Driveway is very narrow, not straight-in and unsuitable for our tandem boat trailer, which we didn't realise until we arrived on site. Overall: disappointed.

Hi Michelle,

I am sorry that you experience wasnt 100 per cent
