"We held our family gathering (6 youths and 6 adults) here last December, and it was the best budget-friendly accommodation I could find in the area. Overall, our stay was wonderful and enjoyable. We had a comfortable, peaceful, and relaxing time.In my opinion, some of the previous reviews are not doing it justice. I saw several complaints about cleanliness, but when we visited, it was adequate for a property like this. The furniture, exterior, and interior are not modern or vibrant, but for the price, everything was more than sufficient and met all our needs.The house is small, yet it had everything we needed: 3 bedrooms, plenty of beds, 2 bathrooms, hot water, electric cooking plates and oven, TV, electric heaters, and a conventional fireplace. The kitchen had all essential utilities, and also some spices, as well as sugar and tea.A basketball court, fuel station, and small grocery shop are conveniently nearby. Ohakune, a charming small town with various attractions and indoor/outdoor activities, is just 10 minutes away.Here are a few tips for future visitors:Oven Use: Make sure to set the clock first to get the oven working.Instruction Leaflet: Check out the instructions leaflet on the notice board. It contains useful information, such as how to find wood for the fireplace."

"Fantastic spot to stop and rest after a hard weekend hiking on Mt Taranaki. Property was clean, well appointed and modern. Host was super helpful to organise a dinner meal for us which was not something normally provided. Lots of nice extras available too (drinks and snacks) with an honesty box to pay - a nice touch. Would def recommend."

"A beautiful setting with an amazing gracious host! We loved the setting, path along the river and attention to details. Danny is a wonderful host. I wish we could have stayed a third night. "

"All we needed. Good value."

"beautiful home with all the comforts fit for a king/queen. the fire is so cosy and warms the no problems. "

"Great!!"

"What a beautiful property! even better than the pictures. Lots of outside space for dogs, impeccably clean and host was very friendly. Little added extras were a lovely touch. We would definitely come back here again! We were extremely happy with everything."

"Raetihi was an excellent place to unwind and connect. The beautiful rural property was glorious at all times of the day. The fireplace warm and inviting. A lot of fun was had toasting marshmallows on the fire pit and soaking in the Hot Tub."

"A few minutes drive from the Town Centre and down a short driveway we were delighted to find a little oasis of peace and tranquility on the backs of the Whanganui river. We were met by a lovely couple, Stephen and Mandy, who met us with open arms and provided us with exceptional care and attention during our short stay. After a long trip we arrived late and they heated our dinner for us and made sure that the unit was warm and ready for us to rest. Thank you very much we will definitely come and stay again when we return to Whanganui. Ngā mihi nui. Linda and Mike"
