Come and make the most of the "Adventure Plateau", with Haven as your base. In Spring/Summer you can sit out on the large deck and watch the sun go down over the flowering dogwoods, with the river babbling in the background and warbling tuis and bellbirds doing their last rounds.
When it gets cooler, snuggle up around the fire with a glass of mulled wine and a good book, play cards or darts etc., or bring along your favourite DVD's.
For the more active, Haven is nestled between the world heritage Tongarairo National Park, Tongariro Forest Park, and Raurimu Scenic Reserve, and only a stones throw away from the Whanganui National Park, Haven offers an awesome base for your Central Plateau adventures.
