About this property
MJ's Retreat, Stunning Tongariro crossing accommodation. Private and secure.
After 20yrs of building and running MJ's Retreat we have decided this year to offer a reduced rate.
Our property is ideally located for the Tongariro Crossing, the Whakapapa and Turoa ski fields, Old Coach Road , Bridge to Nowhere, 42nd Traverse , Whanganui canoe trips, and many other walks and mountain bike rides.
The house is situated on 40 000m2 , half in native bush with a stream and pond/swimming hole. It is private and secure with good views of Mt Ruapehu.
The listing is new on this site but is also listed on Air bnb and Holiday houses (MJ's Retreat) Check out the reviews.
A good site for information for the Tongariro Crossing is
https:www.tongarirocrossing.com.
