Stayed here for a weekend trip to the mountain. Well equipped house with fireplace, basic kitchen necessities, decent sized rooms and a drying room! Also the location is great, easy to get to the nearby gear hire place and a short drive to the mountain. Great for us overall!

This is a quirky little cottage in National Park. A short drive to all the beauties of Tongariro. Two toilets and a fantastic shower made a large group stay easier. Owners easy to talk too and very accommodating. Thanks Dale we enjoyed our stay.
