About this property

Cosy cottage w modern facilities on 10 acres farm

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!

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!

Comfortable and convenient

Lovely having a fire and plenty of hot water in the modern shower and kitchen. Furniture for everyone's needs, although one bedroom pretty crowded. A great base for exploring the region and the dog loved the endless supply of pinecones to play chasing with.

Our Stay in the Forest

We just loved the stay at this Bach, very rustic yet comfortable. The Bach has all the relevant amenities that you would need, with a lovely array of old style books, DVDs and player- took me back a few years. The place is very well suited to just relax with an awesome fireplace and heaps of dry wood. I can highly recommend this Bach for a getaway. Thank you

About the host

Hosted by martll19

Host profile image
Martin grew up in Wales and emigrated to NZ in 2008. He met Auckland-native Kylie in 2010 and they now take their ski holidays with son Alex (born 2016).

Why they chose this property

Our cottage is a classic NZ escape, a modest building with all the comforts of home, in a rural setting. We love this area for its untouched nature, laid-back atmosphere and, of course, amazing alpine activities! There are also great summer activities with world-class walks and hikes (such as the legendary Tongariro Crossing), beautiful forests and the stunning mountains themselves.

What makes this property unique

35 mins drive to get to the ski fields at Turoa OR Whakapapa - choose your side of the mountain depending on the best conditions.
