It was a lovely, quaint and peaceful setting. Had everything we needed to be relaxed and comfortable. Lots of lovely extras such as the candles, marshmallows etc. We could easily have stayed longer if we we able to. Loved seeing the animals.

Located 2 minutes off SH1 & just 5 min South of Taihape on our working sheep & beef farm. Rawhiti Farm Cottage is a unique and cosy 2 bedroom “house”. The perfect spot for an overnight stop or a holiday in the countryside Features: - free WiFi - Access to the Hautapu river (Rangitikei river also near by) - Farm walks - 60 mins to Mt Ruapehu for skiing or hiking - Fire pit for toasting marshmallows - Lots of wildlife & farm animals to see The Rawhiti farm cottage was originally the old Taihape Gunclub, which has been renovated into unique and cosy accommodation. The old clay pigeon traps and scoreboards are still an interesting feature of the property. There are 2 bedrooms, one Queen room and the other with 2 single beds. The living space is open plan with a sofa bed that pulls out to a double bed to accommodate extra guests. If you are travelling with an infant we do have a portacot available to use, just let know in advance. There is a large covered outdoor area at the front of the property, with outdoor table and chairs, a bbq and a dart board. And at the rear of the property is a small deck and fire pit area where you can enjoy the sunset.
