Christine
What a fabulous place! Staying at the Post Office was like stepping back in time, a truly unique experience. We also appreciated the thoughtful little touches like the plate of home made biscuits and a roaring fire to welcome us. Recommended!
Response from Owner
It was a pleasure to host Christine and her whanau. They were great guests who left the Post Office clean and tidy. Nga Mihi Nui.

A building with a family connection (my grandad used to send telegrams from the small room off the main bedroom) so it was nice to connect to him in the space. A fascinating space with options for a small number, or for a large group. There was everything we needed, and we were cosy and warm with the blessings of fresh eggs, fruit and baking too. The microwave was a bit tricky as we are both short (5 foot and under 5 foot), so we needed to stand on a chair to use it, but apart from that, everything was very user friendly. I loved the local history books, and was able to do lots of family research.
Response from Owner
Ka nui te mihi ki a koe, otira ki a korua. It was as pleasure to share the PO with you and help you make the connections with your own whanau history. Arohanui Bill, Jan & family

Lovely people to deal with. Left a watch behind and they contacted us before we knew we had lost it! Returned rapidly. An interesting home.
