Ranfurly Rooms & Sauna Welcome from Nick & Kamila! After years of global travel, a cycle tour through Central Otago led us to this historic former Post Office in Ranfurly.

We are the passionate team behind Ranfurly Rooms, Infrared Sauna, Polka Apartment, and the local laundry.

We’re excited to announce that Ranfurly Hostel is now Ranfurly Rooms — and we’re celebrating with a brand new website!

Why the change? Because “hostel” didn’t fully capture what we offer. Here's what you'll find:

🛏️ Comfortable rooms — with towels, linen, and a cosy fireside lounge
🔥 Private infrared sauna — perfect after a day on the Rail Trail
🫧 Laundry services — for guests and commercial clients
🏡 Polka Apartment — a fully self-contained apartment with mountain views

The new website also makes it easier to book the sauna online.

Opening dates:
Ranfurly Rooms will be welcoming guests from 1 December. Sauna bookings are currently open from 1 December too — but we’ll open them sooner once Nick is back in NZ. Watch this space!

We look forward to welcoming you in the heart of the Maniototo! 🌿

Falls Dam is a great alternative to the more popular St Bathans — or you can easily combine both into one day trip. Unlike St Bathans, you probably won’t see many other tourists here 😊

We’d recommend turning off the main road in Hills Creek and approaching the less touristy northern end of the dam, where the old fishing huts are located. The huts themselves are worth seeing, and from there you can access the walk along the dam. The track is officially marked as closed, but when we visited there was no padlock on the gate ;)

Just be aware that the road can get rough — a 4WD is recommended unless you also want an unexpected mud adventure like us 😅 We crossed two fords without problems… but got properly stuck in the mud past the dam.

The wider Oteake Conservation Area is also full of interesting hiking trails and is a fantastic place for hut bagging.

A lovely surprise – we’ve won a photo competition in the local newspaper Positively Maniatoto. Thank you! 😊

It’s been just over a week since our sauna arrived at Ranfurly Hostel, and it’s already had quite a workout — over 22 hours of use so far! 🔥

We’ve been enjoying it ourselves (a lot 😄), and it’s been great to see some locals from Ranfurly come and try it too. One of our guests even described it as an “out of this world experience”!

There’s something really special about taking that time to slow down, warm up, and properly relax — especially after a day outdoors.

We’re looking forward to more of you giving it a try and enjoying a bit of well-deserved relaxation with us 😊

Our infrared sauna at Ranfurly Hostel is now available for bookings! 🔥

If you haven’t tried one before, infrared saunas are a gentle, relaxing way to warm up from the inside out. People love them for helping to:
✨ relax muscles and ease tension
💓 improve circulation
🚴 support recovery after cycling or long days outdoors
😌 reduce stress and boost mood
💧 sweat out toxins
🌿 open pores and give you a natural glow
😴 promote better sleep and overall wellbeing

It’s not just about the heat — it’s about taking time to slow down, breathe, and properly unwind!

We’re offering 75-minute private sessions:
💛 $15 for 1 person
💛 $20 for 2 people

Towels and water included — just bring yourself. Payment via cash on arrival or bank transfer.

👉 Book your session here:
https://app.schedulingkit.com/b/ranfurly-infrared-sauna

Perfect after a ride on the Rail Trail, a cold day, or just when you feel like treating yourself ✨

If you’ve got any questions, just send us a message — and we hope to see you in the sauna soon!

Our infrared sauna has arrived! 🥳 This has been a long-time dream for Kamila, and she’s absolutely over the moon — she’s already used it twice!

A huge thank you to Sam & Anna for helping put it all together, Becky for gifting us her lush plants, and the kind fellas who helped carry those heavy boxes inside. You’re legends! 💪

We’re now thinking about opening the sauna to the public — and we’d love your thoughts.

The idea is simple: a relaxed, private 75-minute session where you can unwind, warm up, and take a proper break. Our introductory offer of $20 for two people or $15 for one, includes towels and water — just bring yourself.

It’s not just about the sauna though. You’d also have space to slow down a bit — stretch on a yoga mat, read a book, do a puzzle, or just enjoy some quiet time. Inside the sauna, you can connect your own music via Bluetooth, listen to the radio, or sit in silence, with different light settings to match your mood.

We’ll share more tomorrow about how to use an infrared sauna and why it’s so good for you.

💬 For now, we’d love to hear from you — would you come for a session?
