About this house rental
Nestled in a peaceful setting and bursting with quirky charm, this delightful retreat is perfect for families, couples, or small groups looking to explore the Central Plateau while enjoying all the comforts of home.
Light-filled and thoughtfully designed, Green Gables comfortably sleeps up to five guests across its unique and inviting spaces. The well-equipped kitchen, complete with a breakfast bar, makes it easy to prepare hearty meals before a day of adventure. Gather around the dining table to plan the day's activities, then head out to discover everything the region has to offer.
After a day on the slopes or exploring the outdoors, return to the cosy open-plan living area and relax in the warmth of the crackling fireplace. Stretch out on the sofa with a good book, enjoy a movie on the TV with Freeview, or simply unwind and share stories from the day's adventures.
Adding to the home's unique appeal is the mezzanine level. Upstairs, you'll find a spacious retreat featuring a queen bed, comfortable seating area, and a charming balcony where you can enjoy your morning coffee while taking in the peaceful surroundings. Three single beds provide a great setup for children or additional guests.
For ski enthusiasts, Green Gables is ideally located just 32 minutes from Tūroa Ski Area and 44 minutes from Whakapapa, making it easy to enjoy some of New Zealand's best mountain adventures. Closer to home, Raetihi's cafés, supermarket, and local amenities are only a short walk or one-minute drive away. The popular Ohakune Carrot Adventure Park and local dining favourites, including the Powerkeg Restaurant and Bar, are also within easy reach.
Whether you're chasing snow, hiking trails, or a relaxing country escape, Green Gables offers the perfect setting for an unforgettable Ruapehu getaway.
Please be aware the two bedrooms at this property are divided only by a curtain.
This property may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility as there is a large step up to get into the shower.
As there is a section of the deck without a barrier with a small drop on to concrete, all guests should take care when using this area due to the risk of falls.

Very heavy farm gate across entrance, difficult to open. Cold weather so oil filled heater used, it was upstairs and very heavy to manoeuver down to the lounge. Front door key tricky to use.Upstairs bedroom has no emergency exit in case of fire or smoke in stairway.We love this spot, but is it safe?
