About this property

Rivendell - Horopito Holiday Home

  • Rivendell is an amazing 3 bedroom + loft Horopito holiday home. This home sits on a large section and features a secluded and private outlook, that has amazing views of Mt. Ruapehu and surrounding National Park. With space to sleep 10, this home is just the ticket for multiple families or larger groups looking for their next mountain escape.

    Head out the sundeck at this home and take in the views of Mt. Ruapehu and the bush that surrounds this home. The house has plenty of green grass for younger family members to run around on and even has Alpacas on site, meaning you get the best of rural living just minutes from Horopito.

    The interior of this home is spacious with a huge open plan living area with modern furnishings that are perfect for relaxing on after long days exploring. And with Sky TV & WiFi equipped there is plenty of things to keep you entertained while you relax from the comfort of the couches. The rooms are also light and large with 3 of the rooms leading out to the sundeck or upstairs balcony.

    For winter stays, the home is also equipped with multiple potbelly fireplaces and plenty of wood to keep the fire burning through colder days.

    A 15 minute drive from this home will have you in the heart of Ohakune, however if you feel like cycling the famous Old Coach Road and cycle trail to Ohakune is right by this home. You're perfectly situated between two skifields of Whakapapa and Turoa, which are just 30 minutes drive from the home, perfect for the skiers of the group.

    Stunning views, comfortable living and great ammenities. Welcome to Rivendell!
    As there is a shallow pond near the driveway, adults should closely supervise young children while outside to ensure they are safe around water.

    Please note as the property is in the National Park, no open fires or open fire cooking is permitted. Outdoor cooking is strictly confined to the BBQ.

    Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.

A frustrating start but beautiful location

The property is as listed. Beautiful, well appointed and serene location close enough to everything. BUT it took over 30 minutes and several long distance phone calls to obtain the correct lockbox code to enter the property which was really frustrating after a long day's drive. I hope they sort that out.
