Beautiful warm accommodation

Lovely warm accommodation with fabulous gas fire, easily started and instant heat. Very friendly and welcoming hosts. Very clean. Fabulous breakfast included. Only down side is no large dishes for cooking meals in microwave but host immediately brought some to us as soon as asked. Would definitely stay again. Only 10 mins from ohakune, easy drive there.

Home away from home

Alison and Ron were the perfect owners who looked after us and answered all of our questions, as well as supplying us with lovely food. The accommodation was wonderful and warm, and each bedroom had an en-suite so we felt very spoilt! We will definitely go back, Thanks for making us feel so welcome.

Warm, tidy and cosy.

Warm, tidy and cosy. Nice variety of food supplied for breakfast. Raetihi is a tiny place but Ohakune is only a 10 min drive, so that was where we bought meals. The 10-yr-old enjoyed the tv/disney channel on sky.
