| Testimonial |
Riverstone is run by
Rob, a very cool guy who has a great knowledge of the area and the
various activities and amenities available come rain or shine. He
can book you onto the Tongariro crossing and his ability to accurately
gauge the weather is uncanny!
The rooms are all very well kept, bedding
is provided and you can hire towels if you wish. There's a laundry
and internet, book exchange and DVDs to keep you amused should the
weather turn. The outside decking and patio area is plush with beanbags
and hammocks making it the perfect place to chill out with a few
mates after your activities.
I would definitely stay there again! |
