1. Lovely mountain hut in the lap of nature in Raurimu (from USD 136)
Situated in the village of Raurimu, this shepherd’s hut rests in the backdrop of the three volcanoes in Tongariro National Park. Set in a peaceful and secluded neighborhood and yet minutes away from the bustling center of National Park Village, it enjoys a great location.
The mountain hut has cozy beds that ensure a good night’s rest after an eventful day of exploration. A fireplace indoors keeps the place warm and snug during the months of hail and snow. Firewood is supplied in the hut for stoking up a fire.
The coffee maker in the kitchen makes sure your caffeine cravings are met. A full-sized oven, microwave, fridge, and barbeque grill on the deck lets you fix meals. An internet connection lets you stay connected with folks back home. Two mountain bikes can be used for exploring the surrounding farmland.
