Chris and Peter are excellent hosts. They actually got up to cook us a wonderful breakfast before the bus picked us up (at the house) between 6 and 6:30am to do the Tongariro Crossing. That alone was above and beyond the call of duty. We relaxed in the large and comfortable lounge room when we were exhausted after the hike,... more

Lovely hosts. A choice of cooked breakfast to follow the abundant fruit salad cereals and yoghurt. An absolutely beautiful house which we were priviliged to share. Short walk to fast flowing river and good fishing for those who want it. We were just on a one night break on our tour of NZ. Had a very good meal in the... more

This large purpose built property is ideally located near Turangi and easy to find. The house itself is accommodation downstairs and the hosts living area upstairs.

I hesitate to write this review because I don't ever want to be in a position of not being able to stay here because it is booked! We stayed here on the front end of our 25 days in NZ and the problem going forward was that the bar was now set pretty high. The inn is only 6-7 years... more

We really enjoyed our stay at Founders. Chris and Peter made us feel completely at home. The property is fairly new, very clean and although it's purpose built, they made us feel completely welcome in the lounge area and on the great patio. They also made the internet very available to guests in the entryway. Breakfasts were also a highlight... more

The hosts are as nice and informative as could be. The location is excellent, near all that you could want to do without being in the touristy area. The rooms were well furnished, the bathrooms were excellent and the breakfast was incredible. more
