A wonderful, home-away-from-home. Clean, comfortable and welcoming. Great communication with the owner. He couldn't have been more helpful! Altho there isn't much to do in Waiouru other than visit the Army museum (which is a must-do!), and the Tangiwai memorial site, the house is only 27km from Oakhune. If you love trains, they pass very close by the house. Take earplugs if you don't want to hear them at night!! Stunning view of Ruapehu.
