Staying at Richard's Waireka Apartment was a real treat for our family of three! When we arrived, the fire was already burning and freshly baked bread and the hot pool were just there waiting for us. We found the place to be super comfy and to provide plenty of room for the three of us. The kitchen was well equipped, the bathrooms clean and the living room spacious and homey. Richard and his wife were lovely but we also had plenty of privacy. We loved cuddling with the dog, too! The place was ideally located for our trips to go hiking up Ohakune Mountain Road and Whakapapa Village. We were sad we could not stay any longer and we recommend this apartment to everyone!
