Tawhiri Apartment, Waiouru.
Tawhiri means welcome, and so do we. Tawhiri-matea is the atua of wind and weather - you stand a good chance of meeting him when you stay in Waiouru. Tawhiri may be the easiest place in New Zealand to find; we are the first gate you see when you come into Waiouru from Ohakune; the last gate before the 100kph sign as you leave. You won't find anything else like this in Waiouru - self-contained comfort with a spectacular view of Ruapehu from your own deck. The Adventure Highway starts at our gate and the adventures you will find on it are limited only by the time you have to spare. Explore New Zealand's history and your family's connections with it at the National Army Museum, or explore the geographic marvels of the Ruapehu District and the Tongariro World Heritage Area. Easy access to skiing, fishing and hunting - and the highest 18-hole golf course in New Zealand is only minutes away.
Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$42.00 per stay); Linen (included);

Warm, comfortable and well appointed. The views were also beautifull. However access to the accomodation was difficult and we struggled to get our large suitcases from the parking area across the gap driveway to the entrance.

We arrived early for check-in after a long journey, but we were met with a smile and allowed to check in. Ross went the extra mile, helping us with a few extras along the way and lots of local knowledge. The place was neat and well appointed. We had very cold weather but had ample bedding and heating. We would highly recommend.

It was a great place to stay at. Don't expect too much from the second bed, but heating and kitchen and TV and parking etc are excellent.

Ross,our host was a great communicator and very helpful from the beginning of the booking. He helped me to amend the booking and gave us accurate directions to get to the batch. He was very flexible with our arrival time.
He made us feel at home from the very beginning of our stance. He made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The batch was fully equipped, we couldn't ask for more.
A five start overall, very close to ohakune and Turoa ski field. Highly recommend it.
We will come back.

We stayed at the property with our two children - it was cosy and tidy, and a great location for exploring the mountain. The host was very helpful too. Would recommend this place for a weekend in the central north island!
