Mellonsfolly Ranch is located on the Central Plateau of the North Island amidst 9.92ha 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.
