great and friendly hosts (breakfast package for our hike early in the morning), super breakfast, wonderful garden with birds. Perfect for Tongariro Crossing.

Our hosts were very welcoming and helpful. Mary was very knowledgeable about the hikes in the area. The location was very convenient for visiting Tongariro National Park. Not to mention Mary's delicious breakfasts!

Nothing not to like!

Very comfortable and such attention to detail by the owners. They were also very helpful in guiding us on what to do and what to see in the area and after following their advice we had an amazing day - they were spot on! Breakfast was also lovely and such a nice ambience around the entire property. Thank you!

Tim and Mary were amazing. Made us feel right at home from the first day. They gave us some travel advice and maps, which was good as we had not planned for all our days in the area. Breakfast each morning was beautiful and delicious. Wonderful host, look forward to visiting again

It might have been nice to use the hot tub later.

Breakfast was excellent. Associated with the Hare and Copper, which is an amazing restaurant, in our opinion. Hosts were very friendly, with a little guidebook to attractions in the area. They also help with advice and bookings for local activities. One of the best places we've ever stayed.

beautiful B&B run by a gracious and charming couple. the house is comfortable, well appointed with lovely guest rooms. on-suite bathroom with lots of shelf space for toiletries. very comfortable bed! wine and hors d’oeuvres served in the living room late afternoon gave us a chance to chat and meet other guests. breakfast was delicious including a parfait to die for! The location was perfect for getting to Turangi sights and activities. We highly recommend this outstanding property.

Olive Rabbit is an outstanding B&B. Very cozy, comfortable and clean but what makes it extra special is the hospitality of the hosts, Tim and Mary.

Good location in town. Very quaint setting with lovely gardens. Comfortable room with private bath. Mary offered wonderful recommendations for activities and dinner options. She and Tim prepared one of the most delicious breakfasts we have ever experienced at a B&B. They were even kind enough to share one of their recipes with us.

I would like to write something here, jst to avoid giving the impression that I was paid to give a positive review - but there was simply nothing that was not excellent.

Everything. The quality was outstanding in every respect. Very attractive and comfortable rooms, excellent breakfast, very friendly and helpful hosts. I recommend taking a walk alongside the nearby river to a lookout point. Having stayed in many B&Bs, this is first time I'm giving 10/10.
