We rented a 2 bedroom suite at the Waiouru Motel (Welcome Inn) with Sharon and her partner as the host. They were very friendly and helpful.
It was very clean - refrigerator handle and light switches always a tell-tale sign of the cleanliness of a place, and these were spotless.
Sharon set up a portacot for us with lovely linen.
Plenty of milk offered for hot drinks.
Spacious parking and a new tramp that the kids loved.
There is only one supermarket (4 Square) in Waiouru and they have reduced hours during the holidays so ensure you take everything you need for you and your babies! We were short nappies for the night (as the 4 Square had closed early for public holiday) and the hosts managed to find us a couple to tide over till the morning!
Great value for the time of year; highly recommended.
