Nice self contained unit with private entrance, comfortable bed and furnishings, kitchen and dining table. Twenty-five minutes to start of Tongariro Crossing Track and just a few minutes to Okahane. Fresh fruit, excellent muesli and breakfast essentials included. Friendly and courteous owner made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
