About this property

Summer and Ski Cottage

Raurimu is a relaxing family village close to Whakapapa Skifield, trout fishing rivers and great walking and mountain bike tracks. It is a fantastic place to explore both locally and a few minutes further afield into the National Park. If you enjoy the great outdoors - hand feeding eels or discovering the resident Blue Duck/Whio in the local rivers and streams then this is the place for you. Why not try The 42 Traverse which is one of the North Island’s best-loved one day mountain bike rides. The Ohakune Old Coach Road track and the starting point for the Mountains to Sea cycle trail are also just down the road. The cottage is the perfect place for a comfortable and warm escape for couples and families alike.
There is a large lawn out the back, hammocks and lots of toys and games for the young (and young at heart!) We were guests at the cottage and loved it so much, we bought it! We want to continue to share this wonderful part of New Zealand with like minded travellers.
Please note cleaning/linen/towels are not provided. (Under true Kiwi bach tradition guests are expected to leave the cottage as clean/tidy as they find it.)

About the host

Hosted by Liz

Host profile image
We stayed in the cottage in 2021 and we loved it so much we decided to buy it. We have a 10 year old son who loves the outdoors - especially fishing… We find Raurimu the ideal getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and love the fact that it’s old school DVDs and enjoying the tranquility. There are lots of hidden tracks around the village that lead to awesome views and nature at its best.

Why they chose this property

We pride ourselves on providing a cosy and relaxing place for families. Raurimu is good for the soul and we are keen to share it with others - check out our awesome reviews from the lovely guests we’ve had so far…
