Cute little place, great hosts.

We booked this bach as well as another down the road, as part of our sales away day hoping to walk the crossing as a team building experience. Well the weather had other ideas, but we still thoroughly enjoyed our stay as the place is very clean and comfortable and the hosts very accommodating around earlier check ins.

A beautiful small house with comfortable beds and convenient location for hikes in the area. Potentially have a dog or something that set off our allergies and it looked like pet hair on the blanket. The espresso machine looked nice but hadn't been cleaned out so we weren't able to use it.

Spot to Stay for Tongariro Crossing

Perfect quiet spot to chill with a larger group (6-9 people) before and after attempting to do day walks like the Tongariro Crossing, especially because the hot tub can heal some of those sore muscles! The river is also a short driver away for those who want something akin to an ice bath treatment :) Communication before, during and after the stay were great. Apart from one instruction mentioning a green bin that we couldn't locate! Overall, a wonderful stay in Turangi, and definitely recommend. Would gladly stay again :)

Fantastic

The comms from the owner Rob were great from start to finish. Really made our stay as enjoyable as it could be. The house itself was very modern and fully equipped with everything you could need. The espresso machine was a real treat! The huge fully fenced garden was perfect for the kids.we had some unusually cold weather when down there so the spa pool really came in handy…especially after a days fishing. The location was perfect. Nice quiet cul-de-sac with great views of the surrounding mountains.
