Located in Raetihi in the Manawatu region and Turoa reachable within 31 km, Snowy Waters - The Old Nurses Home provides accommodation with free WiFi, a children's playground, a terrace and free private parking.

At the lodge guests are welcome to take advantage of a hot tub. We were there for ski trip. I loved Sandy's service by giving us all the info about the mountain and how to be prepared with passes and mapping it out for us to make sure we get the best experience which I appreciated soo much! The place itself was soo clean and felt like home. Beautiful lounge area and clean kitchen and nice open outdoor area to enjoy food with the best view in the area! Highly recommend and I'll definitely be staying here on my next trip :)
