Raglan waterfront romantic cottage
Very private, very pretty and very tranquil waterfront cottage only a stones throw from great coffee, cafes and restaurants. Enjoy your own special piece of paradise right in town in Raglan with waterfront living and spectacular views that change as often as the tide. Warm yourselves in front of the fireplace and snuggle up in the big comfy beds. Only a short stroll to shops,or simply stay home with a nice wine soaking up the beautiful evening sunset.

Misty Mountain Hut - Ruapehu
Misty Mountain Hut-Ruapehu is located in the sleepy little village of Rangataua, 5 minutes distance to Mountain road going up to the Turoa skifield and Ohakune. The 1 bedroom colonial villa has a beautiful view of the mountain. Unlimited wifi and a new firebox with plenty of firewood and a heat pump ensure you are warm in winter. My favourite time here is summer for amazing walks/cycling up mountains to enjoy majestic views. Misty Mountain Hut supports local staff by paying $40/hr for cleaning.
