Petite Chateau Horopito, the quaint villa to explore the richness of the Ruapehu

Stunning 4 bedroom French-country inspired home, tastefully furnished, ready to welcome you and your family.

This holiday home is perfect for a leisurely holiday in a scenic rich area, or an ideal launching point for a bustling adventure in the Central Plateau.
Examples of possible activities and adventures that await: Old Coach Road & 42 Traverse mountain bike trails, Turoa and Whakapapa ski fields, Tongariro and Whanganui National Parks, The Bridge to Nowhere, Lake Taupo and surrounds, and plenty of others....

The home itself boasts two indoor fireplaces and a host of radiators to keep you toasty and warm during even the coldest stretches of weather. There are 4 comfortable bedrooms, each with its own character. The large designer kitchen is well equipped and is home to a brilliant and functional wood-burning stove.

Of course there is also a fully equipped laundry, complete with a radiator and tumble dryer to help dry your wet and sodden gear overnight.

Great family friendly farm house
Lovely appointed farm house in Horopito which is the perfect location to access both sides of mountain and just down the road from Old Coach Road bike/walking track. Lighting the fires give the property a lovely homely feel and makes all the rooms lovely and warm - would recommend a quick YouTube tutorial on operating the Rayburn oven/wetback but the fun of working out how it works adds to the vibe of the property 😉 Being able to bring our house trained dogs was a big drawcard for us and having a warm comfy bed plus a view of the mountain - what more could you ask for?
