Cottage a Raurimu

“Second year in a row that we've stayed here for Labour Weekend. Was peaceful and quiet, ideally located for a range of activities nearby. Kids enjoyed gathering dead wood for the outdoor firepit, played boardgames into the evening, enjoyed the view of Ruapehu while sitting outside. Gorgeous location.”

“Overall we enjoyed our stay but there were quite a few gaps. There were no instructions for the fire and when we arrived it was on. However after about an hour it went out on its own. The backup heater didn’t work so our first night was somewhat freezing. No reply from the Bachcare despite 3 tries and we finally managed to get it working ourselves by turning the mains power off to reset. No soap in the bathroom, not enough pillows. No vegetable peeler and the cleaning in the kitchen was pretty...

“Great place. Had a great time. Would definitely go back.”

“We enjoyed our stay here, everything we needed was there, the spa was great. Would definitely stay again.”

“Loved the property, it’s amenities, the location, views and tranquility - I would recommend it to everyone”

“Tidy, neat and clean property. Highly recommended.”

“Having a Yurt experience made our trip even more special with having family over from the UK. Fantastic location, established trees to make it private, unique accommodation with great amenities.”

“Property was nice and clean. Would definitely stay there again. Enjoyed our time there.”

“Loved it”

“The property is as listed. Beautiful, well appointed and serene location close enough to everything. BUT it took over 30 minutes and several long distance phone calls to obtain the correct lockbox code to enter the property which was really frustrating after a long day's drive. I hope they sort that out.”

“Great location close to town”

“We based ourself here when doing Tongariro. Quick access to start of track Clean, comfortable beds, and warm.”

“158 is a bit rundown and needed a good clean especially the carpets that did not look like they had been vacuumed. We wiped the mould off the window frames. Heat pump not working when we arrived until we went and got new batteries for remote. No mattress protectors. No axe to chop wood. Lights in lounge entrance buzzed because of faulty transformers and we had to turn off. Top floor toilet cistern runs continuously. Both fire ash buckets full Could not see any smoke detectors. damaged...

“Whilst the picture is slightly misleading (lots of houses surrounding it now) the house is lovely and well equipped. Would suit two families travelling with kids that share a bunk room. Nice, quiet and relaxing place to use as a base. Highly recommend.”

“We really enjoyed our stay here. Very warm with the fire going, great bunk rooms and lovely bathrooms with awesome shower water pressure. Perfect for 2 young families”

“Excellent holiday home and plenty of facilities for our needs.”

“Nice clean and cosy place to stay!”

“We very much enjoyed our three night stay. We'd always wanted to stay in an A-frame and this was sure an authentic experience. The location is very handy to the Mountain and close enough to the main shops.”
