440 Crotons Road, Ruatiti, Ruapehu, Wanganui

Mellonsfolly Ranch is located on the Central Plateau of the North Island amidst 9.92ha (more or less) of unspoiled native bush. It's also home to Old West Town, a meticulously crafted replica of an 1890s frontier town blended with modern-day luxury. The craftmanship and authentic decor of the town's ten themed buildings will certainly impress. There's a licensed saloon, a courthouse that doubles as a movie theatre, a sheriff''s office, a general store, a hotel, billiard's saloon as well as accommodation for up to 27 guests. The commercial kitchen and laundry make catering and housekeeping easy for hosting groups. There's a full list of chattels including western memorabilia and equipment including a chuck wagon, cannon, clay bird shooting machine and tee pees to enhance the western experience. A separate three-bedroom home on the property is ideal for staff or overflow accommodation.

The Central Plateau is one of the country's newest year-round playgrounds offering snow sports at neighbouring Mt Ruapehu or indulge in hunting, fishing, horse-trekking, mountain biking, and swimming in the rivers that wind their way through the valleys.
