Wonderful stay! We’d come again. The property was clean with beautiful views and Susan was great to work with as she provided us with flexibility when the fire broke out in Tongariro. The two rooms are open rooms with minimal privacy which was fine for us, but may be uncomfortable for others if traveling with couples!
