A Timeless Western Experience Where The Old West Lives On
Unfortunately, we will be not taking any new bookings for 2022

Mellonsfolly Ranch is home to the Old West Town, an authentic western town situated on the Central Plateau of the North Island. Deliberately remote, Mellonsfolly Ranch is truly at the end of the road.
Located on one thousand acres of unspoiled native bush in one of New Zealand’s hidden valleys. Step back in time and experience where the charm of the Old West mingles gracefully with the luxury of the Victorian Era.
Relax and enjoy our authentic architecture, enjoy hearty western cuisine, try your hand at our western activities and recharge in our elegantly furnished rooms. We respect our guests privacy with reservation only entry, so enquire now to arrange a visit.
