Caltex - Raetihi is a petrol station at 2 Parapara Road in Raetihi, in the Ruapehu district, and holds a 4.3 rating from 212 Google reviews. A country petrol station is often judged by more than its price board: working pumps, a reliable air and water point, clean windscreen squeegees and a shelf of the basics you forgot to pack. In rural districts like this, the standing advice is to fill up when you can rather than run the tank low, because the next pump may be a fair drive off and mountain weather can stretch a trip considerably. Sitting between Taumarunui and Ohakune, this well-reviewed local stop makes a sensible place to top up before the next quiet stretch of State Highway 4.
