The bach was very clean and well equiped.We did not need the fire, but if we had it was set and ready to light on our arrival.There were plenty of heaters to keep us warm for the cool evenings.Also plenty of warm blankets and duvets.The host Chris is very communicative and friendly.The location is ideal with lovely views of the river, and has easy access to walking tracks.Loved how this place has kept lots of its original character and been beautifully maintained.

I'd guess it's our 4th or 5th stay, our preferred base when venturing down to try our luck on the rivers. Basic but everything we need is included. We really enjoy the heavy flow shower and the pre diner drink spot overlooking the river...remembering always to bring camp chairs. Thanks again for letting us stay.

Mold Pit - the property stunk so badly. Had to open all the windows immediately. I'm an environmental consultant for my work and have met a lot of people who's health has been really messed up by mold. I was traveling with my father on this trip and he not very sensitive much of anything and he slept on the couch with the windows open because it stunk the least. Lots of stuff is very "surface" level clean. The smell of the pillows made me almost throw up. Smelled like old sweat and urine. You have to put your own bedding on the beds which was different - some of the sheets smelled clean some smelt horrible so not sure what was clean or not. Found mold in the washing machine... We came this this area to hike Tongariro and there was a stupid Rahui (a ban) put over the park the night before our hike for the rest of the time in New Zealand. We left a day early and booked another place it was such a horrible experience. Also the doors had marks on them which appears someone tried to break in before. Good riddance would never stay again and I high recommend you avoid. Emailed the owners and asked for a refund for one night but no response. No big deal though. If you value air quality and a clean place I'd recommend avoiding. Too bad this beautiful area was ruined by an unclean property.
