The property is as listed. Beautiful, well appointed and serene location close enough to everything. BUT it took over 30 minutes and several long distance phone calls to obtain the correct lockbox code to enter the property which was really frustrating after a long day's drive. I hope they sort that out.
Location, house, and generous space are amazing. The view of Tongariro National Park from the house is mesmerizing. The property manager is absolutely brilliant with communication and getting the house ready for you to welcome... :)
