Enjoy a getaway at a rural cottage with modern facilities very close to Raetihi township. Set on 10 acres, this modernised cosy dwelling in a private setting features super-comfortable and stylish furnishings, and contemporary artworks featured in every room. You'll also enjoy a large deck, wood burner, a bathtub, infinity gas hot water (meaning hot showers for everyone!)

Very conveniently located for a ski break at just 35-40 mins drive to the top of either of Mt Ruapehu's ski areas -plus, you get the added bonus of a relaxing holiday in the country. The house is cosy and warm, with the wood burning stove heating up the whole house in no time, while adding a gorgeous ambiance.

This property has been fitted out with everything you need for a comfortable bach stay. Fully equipped kitchen with new appliances. Massive couch and lounging chairs, including two chaise-style loungers, so you can put your feet up after your day's activities.

While a perfect winter base for skiing / boarding, Farm Cottage also offers a relaxing retreat for a summer adventure in the Central Plateau. An amazing north-facing view of the mountain from the top of the property (great place for a summer picnic), lovely on-site walks with a pond, pines and native trees, and animals grazing in the pasture all around.

Mountain biking tracks,stunning hikes (including the world-famous Tongariro Crossing) and trips to the Whanganui River (take a canoe or jet boat to the 'Bridge to Nowhere') all within easy reach.

House trained pets are welcome (please note that our fences are farm wire fences, so they will not keep your animals from wandering - you will need to tie them up if they're kept outside and you're concerned about this).

Board games, books, DVDs, and lots of wine glasses for your use. TV and DVD / Bluray player (note: no Sky/Freeview). Reliable mobile coverage with Spark and Vodafone.

Feel free to ask a question if you have any queries :) We'd love to hear from you!

    The house was satisfactory for one night, but I was disappointed that the property was so hard to find!! I thought with the detailed instructions and the map it would be easy, but it wasn't! Pls consider adding the street number to your information. The place was cleanish, but not spotless which was disappointing. It was the middle of winter, and the woodburner was great, but the heaters and the hot water weren't very effective. We also couldn't get any reception on the TV. Other than that the place was good, but I'd only return if it wasn't winter.

    Loved the wood burning fire with a great supply of wood, the cosy decor, comfortable beds, very well equipped kitchen, great choice of board games, extensive library, easy parking, the space and serenity of the location,only 35 mins from Whakapapa and Turoroa, and 10 mins to Ohakune. Disappointed only with the non-stop rain!

    We fell in love with this place. It was exacrly what we were looking for and perfect for our little family (2 adults, 9 year old, and dog). Its not far from Ohakune at all and worth the distance in my opinion to have somewhere remote and away from the tourist madness during the peak season. It was very clean, well appointed, and we are definitely looking forward to booking this place in the future. It was a little difficult to find but all the good treasures are. Thank you very much for having us!

    Here’s a polished version of your review:We had a wonderful stay! The house was clean, comfortable, and surrounded by bush, which made it feel so peaceful. Everything was well set up for a relaxing getaway. We really enjoyed our time here and will definitely be back.

    Such a beautiful farm and a cozy cottage, especially with the warm fire going! Communicating with the host was easy and had good directions to find the place. We will miss this cottage but hopefully we will find ourselves staying here again!

    Loved staying here! Kitchen has everything you need, and plenty of firewood to keep you warm. Check in process was super easy with clear instructions. All rooms have a window facing the pond which is a nice touch. Very impressed with the book and board game selection, I’ll be definitely be going back!!
