About us
Located in a very special part of the North Island we are proud to support our local communities across the Ruapehu and Whanganui regions. With an office in Ohakune and one in Whanganui we love selling the lifestyle that this area with its natural beauty and access to the sea, river and mountains has to offer.
Whanganui is a beautiful riverside town rich in heritage and provides a wonderful lifestyle, temperate climate and sense of community. This idyllic setting is just far enough off the beaten track yet has all you need with the practicalities of a hospital, airport and excellent schooling. Whanganui is a popular destination for visitors with an abundance of art, local food products and heritage tourist attractions that make it a great place for families to live and for small businesses to thrive. As a community we enjoy playing host during our busy event calendar.
At the foot of Mount Ruapehu and the surrounding Tongariro National Park is Ohakune and the neighbouring town of Raetihi. This region is fast becoming a year-round centre of activity with snow sports in winter and excellent tramping and mountain bike tracks as well as fresh water fishing.
At the heart of you'll find Bayleys Whanganui and Ruapehu - our dedicated team comprises experience and local knowledge and offers an array of services encompassing residential, commercial, rural, and lifestyle property sales. Additionally, we excel in property management from the Whanganui office.
Whether your real estate aspirations involve purchasing of selling in this region, Bayleys is a name synonymous with trust and excellence.

Local sponsorships
We currently sponsor the “Ohakune Carrot Carnival” which is held on Kings Birthday weekend each year. The carnival has become an iconic family and community event here in the Ruapehu District over the last 35 years. Highlighting the produce industry, alongside the Ohakune Carrot, there are many activities and competitions to keep everyone entertained.
The Waimarino Tough Kid is now an event on all Ruapehu Schools calendar which provides an active recreation event that’s all-inclusive and continually working towards removing all conceivable barriers to participation, whether regarding skill level, cost or location. Our sponsorship includes helping set up the event, supporting the community.
Blazing Hills is a new trail run/walk event hosted on private property in the heart of the Waimarino. With a range of four distances to choose from 3kms - 20.5kms, choose the event to suit you! Bayleys Ruapehu are proud to sponsor this event and help with the running of this day where people can enjoy themselves and connect through the great outdoors.
Surfing for Farmers is an opportunity for New Zealand farmers to take a break from their all-consuming businesses to engage in activities, enjoy fresh air, exercise, and connect with fellow farmers, families, and industry professionals. Bayleys Whanganui are proud to support this initiative, and you will often see the team at the beach each week during the campaign helping.
Bayleys were happy to come on board with the MoreFM Polar Plunge event, largely due to our association with the Live Ocean Foundation. As home to the fourth largest ocean space on the planet, Aotearoa New Zealand has a special role to play as guardians to protect it for future generations. Our Bayleys Whanganui team are champions for our community and for our ocean.
