About this property

RANGATAUA HILTON Railway Cottage

Set in the peaceful suburb of Rangataua, our 5 bedroom cottage (+ sleep out) offers the perfect stay for those who are looking for a relaxing setting for their holiday.
The flat landscape of Rangataua is the ideal environment for walking, riding bikes and horse riding. Our house is only a few minutes walk to the local Rangataua River, hunting forests, walking, cycling, and motorbike tracks.
We are only a 5 minute drive to the heart of Ohakune and the same distance to the ski field's mountain road.
Recently refurbished, we offer an extremely clean and comfortable place for your stay.
The house is fully insulated and we have two heat pumps and an excellent wood burner in the main living area. There is plenty of wood to keep you warm.

The house is well suited for two families and can even take a third family if you wish.

Good for large groups

This bach at Rangataua has everything you need for a comfortable stay, and is toasty warm over winter, with 2 heat pumps & a great fire. Good communal living area for family & friends. Perfect for multiple families. However if you are a light sleeper, be aware that the bach is located right next to a railway line, with trains running throughout the night. We were perhaps unlucky with our first night - when we had about 7 trains. The second night was better with only 2 trains. However, aside from this drawback, we thought the bach was very comfortable and we enjoyed our weekend at the mountain. Good communications from the owner as well. Thank you.

Fantastic trip again, even with the storm knocking us out about a bit!

Fantastic trip again, even with the storm knocking us out about a bit! Property kept us warm and dry throughout a hell of a lot of snow and a day or so without power (water is well drawn, so no power also means no water - luckily there was plenty of snow to melt!), plenty of firewood to tide us over, and we had a great time. Love the new shower! Will definitely be back, no complaints at all :)

Great place to stay, easy and hassle-free booking (even with some late emails on our part!) and accommodated our large group comfortably. Property is very warm and comfortable, the wood burner and heatpumps are more than adequate, and the kitchen is well stocked with crockery and cookware. It made preparing a roast dinner very easy not having to provide our own pots and pans! Love this place, will stay again for sure. Thanks heaps!
