Snowcano Cottage - Rangataua Holiday Home

Appreciate the comfort of this cosy, well-equipped Mt Ruapehu base - Welcome to Snowcano Cottage.

Located in the quaint village of Rangataua, Snowcano Cottage is the best of both worlds so close to the mountain but in the ideal spot for some peace and quiet.

This 3-bedroom holiday home has all the necessities, including Apple TV and WiFi to keep you and the family connected while on holiday, a fully equipped kitchen including a coffee machine for a fresh brew to start the day before you hit the slopes or the must-have wood-burner fireplace for those winter stays.

Sleeping up to 8 guests, Snowcano Cottage has plenty of room for the whole group or family to spread out. Then bring everyone together in the open-plan living, dining and kitchen area for shared delicious holiday meals. Keep everyone entertained with a selection of books, boardgames, Jigsaws and DVDs at the end of a busy day adventuring.

Set in relaxing rural surroundings, only a 5-minute drive away from the Ohakune Mountain Road, you'll be at the ski field car park in just 25 minutes. When you're not up the mountain enjoying the snow, try your hand at a horse trek with Ruapehu Homestead Horse Treks located just around the corner. Ohakune's cafes, bars and local shops are also close by when you need supplies or don't feel like cooking.

Whether you are after relaxation or adventure, come and stay at Snowcano Cottage!
The cottage features a kitchen and space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Great Cottage for a weekend up the mountain! Rangataua is a quiet residential area but nice and close to Tūroa ski area and just down the road from Ohakune. Lots of activities in the area if weather isn't good enough for the snow adventures. Lovely warm property, big rooms and comfy beds. Kitchen had everything we needed. A little tricky finding the lockbox in the dark as it's by the back door of the property but otherwise a perfect stay!
