Raurimu has a real village atmosphere as it once was a busy milling and railway settlement when the now Famous Railway Spiral was built. If you are out walking Raurimuites will stop for a chat. The Raurimu Village House is an absolutely Ideal family and friends base for adventure activities or relaxing. Its a Warm house in the winter, cool in the summer. We have cows and calves horses and foals grazing nearby,and a herd of alpacas just up Old Mill Road. Quail families are running around and sometimes a deer will come out of the bush and visit us as one has done just now.
