Family-friendly vacation rentals in Ruapehu District Council

Amazing is the only word to describe this place! The view, the location, the town! Must stay!

Great to have a massive grass area out the front for lawn games. The big living area, deck and spa pool also nice. Well layed out house for entertaining and relaxing after our running event. Close to the big carrot / park, would be nice for families too.

We had a great stay. The remote location and wood burning stove plus wood burning hot tub made things feel very cozy and unique. We had a blast keeping the fires going and spending time in the tub on the deck and watching deer and birds go by. Highly recommend the experience!

Homey, light filled clean house. Very well equipped for self caterer. Good heating. 15 minute drive to Whakapapa Visitor Centre. 2 minute drive (or walkable distance) to bars/restaurants, 4 Square supermarket at petrol station and liquor store.

Such a beautiful home with lots of character. Perfect spot for a few families and lots of room for the kids to run around outside. We loved our stay and will be back hopefully next snow season 😊

The most beautiful home. Space, style fully and equipped beyond many places I’ve stayed. Stunning, absolutely stunning location, you would never tire of the view. Hope to come again.

Andy was a very responsive and proactive host which made us feel relaxed and reassured to reach out if needed. The home was as described and suited our needs perfectly. The view was just glorious and the location fantastic!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was very clean and well equipped. Hosts very responsive, helpful and friendly. Can’t wait to come back!

Lovely spot. We loved the friendly pigs and horse. Outdoor bath was also a real hit for everyone. About 20min drive to the shuttle depo for the timber trail

Thanks Wayne Apologies for the delay responding What a wonderful and unique place you have - so authentic, just like you. We felt so comfortable and relaxed - plenty of space for 9 of us Appreciated Nigel

Was a great place to stay for our group. Had everything we needed and lovely to have the beds and linen done for us. Great location and view and very nice people to deal with. Thank you for having us.

Stunning view of Mount Ruapehu as you drive to Ohakune! Great region to explore or rest for the night! Kate has a guestbook with everything you need to know about her place, recommendations of where to eat, and what to explore in the area. We needed a night’s rest before driving to Auckland all the way from Wellington, and I’m glad we chose her place. 5 stars!

Wonderful wee railway cottage. Kids cracked up/crapped their pants when the trains roared past in the night but it became part of their norm in no time. Great wee cottage with everything we needed and close to town. Perfect for going up the mountain and super helpful host! Thank you.

Despite an initial hiccup, we had a fantastic time at Tracy and Damien’s home. Tracy was very responsive and helpful. We loved our stay and will hopefully return to stay here again!

Second time staying here and was as good as we remembered. Love the fireplace! Great spot as about 45 minutes from the snow.

Great place to stay, has everything you need, clean and tidy, clear instructions.

Amazing quiet and warm lodge nestled in an amazing location.

Lovely stay in a beautiful location- thanks again.

Absolutely lovely accommodation, clean and tidy and had everything we needed for the night. Great communication would highly recommend.

Great location convenient for exploring Tongariro National Park and the Tongariro Crossing. Comfortable and clean home. Helpful, friendly, and responsive hosts. Would definitely come back.

Great place to stay for a weekend away in Taupo! Extremely calm and beautiful surroundings. The place itself was fantastic and I really enjoyed my time here!

Warm bach just right for the stormy weather that came through. Lots to keep us busy. Thanks

Great open plan kitchen/living/dining area. BBQ was excellent. Being a group of fisherman, a few hooks around the place etc would have been handy to air out waders at the end of the day....but these sort of things were minor annoyances. Bunk room a little cramped, however all things considered an ideal place for a group of 5-7 anglers. Thanks Kim👍

The place has everything you need for a trip to Ohakune. A good sized space for families. Bev and Ed are lovely and easy going hosts. We'd happily stay again!
