Book a Rangataua Cottage

"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...

"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."

"Beautiful cabin. Excellent facilities. Nice spot. Couldn’t ask for more."

"Really good arrangements and location of the property is pretty amazing. Ross is very courteous and welcoming. Would love to come back and stay again."

"The home was lovely, very clean, and readily accessible to restaurants and grocery stores. Check in and out process was easy. I would recommend this place."

"Great place. Had a great time. Would definitely go back."

"House is spacious and has a nice deck. Property alarm keeps beeping all day and night long, which was a bit of annoying for first night. We called the 0800 number and they solved the issue giving us the code to turn it off. Hot pool was sadly not cleaned at all. Water and pool’s wall were super dirty and we couldn’t use it much. Some beds make so much noise when sleeping and moving. An air cond would be great as doors and windows can’t stay opened coz of heaps of mosquitoes inside. Check out...

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

"This property was fantastic as a base for a group of adults and teenagers all doing the Tongario Crossing . It provided warm, clean accommodation and comfortable beds. Great family space to relax in and enjoy all being together. Thankyou"

"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."

"The property was lovely however there were a few things that could’ve been looked into. There was mould in the showers and the dishwasher had previously been broken by someone so water went all over the kitchen floor. No detergents to wash towels or amenities before we left and we couldn’t find a bucket for ashes etc either."

"Wonderful house, lovely fire, we appreciated the supply of wood and the fact the fire was lit when we arrived! Our only feedback was that The shower tap heat controller needs to be replaced, as it's difficult to turn (especially for kids) and only 1 toilet roll was supplied - more would be appreciated, thanks."

"Great spot to enjoy all the wonderful adventures that Ohakune has to offer. The bunk beds weren’t that comfortable- otherwise, all good :-)"

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

"Great location and great set up for teens. The actual accommodation is just like the listing. The upstairs area was great for our teenage daughters and their friends and the spa was well used! The weather in Ohakune was not great meaning we could not ski. However girls had no problems occupying themselves. Would just recommend some more breakfast bowls - there were no enough of these and a new rubbish bin. The lid was broken which was not ideal. Other than this there were no issues. It was...

"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."

"Cute unit, well equipped and good heating. Main bed very hard and disappointing the washer dryer doesn't work."

"Great setting and nice accom. Would recommend getting wifi for the house."

"Warm and cosy property - comfy and relaxed space Host is a good communicator Great to getaway and explore Tongariro National Park and the Maunga"

"We enjoyed our weekend at Piwari Villa. A very old villa which appeared clean and was really well equipped with everything we needed. Neighbouring properties are close by but we still enjoyed sitting on front deck in the sun and using the spa pool. The house had a shed for storing our bikes which was really handy and communication with owners was easy. Would love to know more about the history of the house."
