Raetihi International Airport*

The Raetihi International Airport* was built in 1903 as the towns first Post Office, and it is still a bustling hub of activity. Set up as a homestay which can sleep up to ten people, it's also the home of the Raetihi Times community newspaper. As well as that, people come here to get printing done (and ink cartridges refilled), send faxes, get computer help, get travel and activity information and directions, and sometimes even to buy petrol if they've arrived in town after the Caltex has closed!
