About this property

1900's Villa on the forgotten world road

Mill House is a fully furnished, four bedroom/one bathroom home that comfortably sleeps eight. Full linen supplied as well as a scrummy continental breakfast. Whether you are travelling through or looking to getaway, Mill House can provide you with tranquility and relaxation. It is in the heart of the Pohokura Valley on farmland surrounded by nature and beautiful scenery. This lovely home was built in the early 1900’s by the McCluggage Family, who operated sawmills in the area. Their endeavors included the construction of a tunnel, in 1924, at the rear of the property to provide access to timber on the Whangamomona Saddle where it still remains today.

It is located approximately 50kms from Stratford and 10km west of Whangamomona. The house is visible from Forgotten World Highway SH 43. Mill House is also pet friendly and comes with a resident cat. If cat's aren't your thing, she is happy to camp outside.

A BnB in the country that is better than any BnB in any city
From walking into the Villa, we felt home. A fire was heating the whole house, and everything was just absolutely perfect. All amenities have been provided, fully equipped kitchen with breakfast and basics to cook your own meals. This is really a true gem in the heart of Taranaki and we will surely be back. Thank you, Amanda, for your hospitality and taking so much pride and care to make our stay memorable. Very highly recommended!!

Forgotten World Sanctuary
Took a trip up the Forgotten World Highway and had the pleasure of staying at Pohokura for the night. A very comfortable stay, the cottage had everything we needed; comfy beds, big sofa, fire place with plenty of logs, generous bathroom, Wi-Fi and both Marmite and Vegemite available for breakfast. Our host Amanda couldn’t have been more helpful and her advice on the local roads saved us from being stuck in traffic for hours. A thoroughly great stay, our interest in the area has been wetted and we will be back.

Relaxing getaway
Amanda is a great host, very welcoming and attentive, making sure every detail was taken care of. Lovely home, with lots of thoughtful touches and all the necessities one could ask for. Not too far from the highway - but no traffic noise and a very peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. Big fireplace that kept the home warm, and of course Kitten's company was a bonus.

Exceeded Expectations
We were looking for somewhere to disconnect, rest and relax, we couldn’t found have a better place to do this. Mill House is in such a lovely spot. Amanda is a brilliant host, so friendly and helpful. She even offered to loan me her hiking boots. Kitten is friendly and cuddly. We enjoyed the McClugguge tunnel walk, lazy sunny afternoons on the veranda and stayed warm on cold nights in front of the cozy fire. Who could ask for more.

Absolutely incredible, spacious, peaceful home with beautiful decor.
We loved our stay here. Amanda & Kitten made us feel at home straight away. We spent the afternoon basking in the sunshine on the deck surveying the surrounding hills. The only disappointment was we weren't staying another night!

Great home in a quiet rural location.
I stayed here two nights near the end of a three week trip in February. Amanda had opened everything up for my arrival, and the home was clean, comfortable and spacious. As I was a bit tired of traveling, it was nice to just relax here. Other than an occasional car on the Worlds Forgotten Highway, mostly all you hear outside are birds and animals grazing. I would definitely stay here again, and I already miss the cat.
