It was a pleasure to stay with Ross at his lovely place in Waiouru and his apartment was the perfect location to break up our trip up north. The apartment is located just off the main highway and is really easy to find. It’s really beautifully maintained with lovely decor. Be aware that it is quite close to the train tracks so you do hear the trains go past - this was more of a feature than an annoyance though. It was a very relaxing stay, and had we more time it would have been a perfect base for exploring the mountains over a couple of days. Highly recommended.
