The Flax Cottage - National Park Holiday Home
Styled with earthy tones, warm timber, and handcrafted boho touches, this cozy and spacious holiday home invites you to slow down and settle in. Whether you’re coming back from a day on the mountain or curling up with a book by the fire, comfort and calm are around every corner.
The open-plan living, dining and kitchen space is ideal for families and small groups. A modern heat pump and a wood-burning fireplace ensure year-round warmth, while the fully equipped kitchen includes thoughtful extras like a crockpot and a juicer for easy home-style meals.
This National Park holiday home sleeps up to six guests across three bedrooms, making it a great option for families or friends travelling together. A modern bathroom and laundry facilities add to the convenience, while the attached carport right outside the back door makes arrival and departure a breeze - rain, shine or snow.
The fully fenced, private section offers a safe space for kids to play or to unwind in the fresh alpine air. Plus, you’re only a short walk from local cafés and the bus stop offering access to the Tongariro Alpine Crossing.
With shuttle services to Mount Ruapehu just minutes away, adventure is always within reach - then return home to peaceful surroundings and relaxed mountain style.
The Flax Cottage offers the perfect balance of boho comfort and outdoor convenience - your base for fresh air, family time and unforgettable memories. 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.
During your stay at this vacation home, you'll be close to Raurimu Spiral. Enjoy your stay with amenities like a kitchen and a TV in the vacation home.
