About the host

Hosted by JenTris

Host profile image
We live north of Wellington and have recently acquired The Barn as our holiday home to be closer to family and friends who are splattered across the North Island. When we are not using it ourselves we like to share it with other keen travellers, families and groups.

Why they chose this property

We love being close to the mountains and Taupo lake. Being in between Auckland and Wellington also means that we can catch up with friends and family a lot more often because we can meet halfway.

What makes this property unique

Minutes drive to lakes, mountains and hot pools.
Ideal base for the Tongariro Crossing, skiing, snowboarding, river rafting, mountain biking, hiking, fishing, and so much more.
