Reviews of Tekoa Lodge Raurimu

Good location, cozy and nice place for families.

Spectacular grounds, very quiet, great amenities

I like to have a bar of soap when I have my morning shower, and not body wash from a pump.

It is heavenly… my family will always remember this stay. A beautiful green garden, enormous verandah, wood fire, huge lounge, excellent kitchen and bathroom, secluded setting, bush track down to the river. Great host. Fabulous.

The Lodge was simply lovely! Also David is a top bloke who really cares about his guests.

Atmosphere. Beds. Special place.

Loved the wood fire, outdoor space, bush setting, bedrooms. It was great.

It was so Cosy. Had such a homely feel to it. 3 minute drive to a bar/restaurant , liquor store and four square shop , it is also a short drive to the slopes. Ideal place to stay if you have a large group as it can sleep up to 10 people. Out door area is beautiful, plenty of seating areas and behind the house is a lovely 300m track to a snow fed river. We had the fire roaring which heat the whole house, so warm and Cosy. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We met with David the owner before we checked out and he was very pleasant to talk to. Highly recommend to check this little gem out.

It has absolutely everything you need, close to the mountain a beautiful walk to the river. David was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Can’t wait to come back again!

We absolutely loved this place! The host was an absolute delight to deal with. The home offered everything that you needed.

The mattresses weren’t overly comfortable. But this wouldn’t stop me from staying here again.

Comfortable and cozy home. Good location, just few minutes drive to Whakapapa Ski field. Amazing fireplace. Very kind of the owner to check up on us on our arrival.

Got a bit lost on arrival but the owner had the signage put up the next day.

This was our second highly enjoyable stay here. It’s a fabulous place to book for families to enjoy an at-home style experience when travelling. The location is very convenient to Ohakune with its great restaurants and supermark and ideal for families going skiiing or visiting Waiouru Army Camp to be with their loved ones. The hosts have always been generous and helpful to ensure everything went smoothly. They are very communicative and available on call.

The location is amazing! The bed options and configurations are perfect for our needs. Plenty of fire wood and the little stove heated up the place nicely. The surrounding grounds are amazing and the short walk to the river is beautiful. Our host was very friendly and I would recommend this place to anyone with a big family.

Unfortunately there was issues with the hot water as there was construction and the water pump hadn't been turned back on. So we had no hot water on the 1st night and morning. The owner rectified the situation and was very sorry for the inconvenience. Also the wifi was very spotty for us. But I guess you don't go to a place like this to spend the time on your phone. Lol

Clean and tidy with lots of room.

The floor boards on the first floor are noisy when people move about (especially during the night).

Great location 👌

There was no BBQ, and the owner apologized later on, but we went with lots of meat for BBQ since it was in there advertisement

Good location and enough space. David is friendly and helpful.

It will be great if wifi can be better.
