Boutique Comfort at the Edge of Adventure

Welcome to
Ongarue Valley Retreat

Boutique Accommodation Near the Timber Trail

Tucked away on the edge of the peaceful village of Ongarue, in the heart of the King Country, Ongarue Valley Retreat offers boutique accommodation just minutes from the southern end of the Timber Trail — one of New Zealand’s most iconic Great Rides. Whether you're beginning or completing your Timber Trail journey, or simply seeking a quiet Ruapehu escape, our retreat is designed to help you relax, recharge, and reconnect with nature.

With two beautifully appointed ensuite rooms, a nourishing home-cooked breakfast, and warm local hospitality from your host Victoria, Ongarue Valley Retreat is the perfect base for adventurers, explorers, and those wanting to experience the spirit of the King Country in boutique comfort.

Rest. Ride. Repeat.
