Unfortunately there was mold around the windows and frames and my friend has breathing problems when mold is present so she struggled with her breathing through the night. Quiet place to stay.

Huka Falls is one of the most powerful waterfalls we've ever seen. Every second up to 220,000 litres of water gushes through the gorge. Besides that the best time to visit, in our opinion, is when the sun is about to set and the sky is painted in purple! #HukaFalls #LongExposure #Waterfall #Sunset #Nature #NewZealand
