Rangataua railway cottage. This is the original Rangataua stationmasters cottage. Well positioned with a lovely outlook of the stunning Rangataua forest with the snowy Ruapehu peaks of Tahurangi and Girdlestone peaking over. Just 5 minutes drive to the mountain road and Ohakune junction. If you donât mind the odd passing train, this is a perfect base for snow adventure , bush walks and mountain biking.
We had a pleasant stay at the property â cozy rooms, well-organized overall, and the location couldnât be better. Everything was set up nicely, and it felt welcoming and comfortable. However, we did find a few areas that could be improved: some of the kitchen utensils werenât clean, the kitchen setup could use a bit more organisation, and there was no shower gel provided. With a little more attention to these details, it would make for an even better experience.
There was rat poop on table and around microwave. Dirty towels and that also only 2 towels provided even adter paying u separtely only for linen and towels.. Had to leave 2 days before even aftr paying.
We all really enjoyed staying at this house. It had everything we wanted and it was in a clean and tidy state. A Lovely location. The trains added to the enjoyment of staying there.
