ABOUT THE PROPERTY: The fully self-contained apartment in our home is ideal for the beautiful walks nearby. It offers privacy with its own entrance, carport, and large patio with great views of Lake Whakamarino and the orchard. It's also well appointed with all one might need for a great Waikaremoana getaway. The office is closed, however host next-door, so do phone if you need anything sorted. Te Urewera Park is 1 km away (all uphill), and we are approximately 1 hour of winding road away from the small town of Wairoa. Napier and Gisborne are about 2 hours drive. The full kitchen is stocked with very basic complimentary self-catering breakfast food items (PLEASE SEE PHOTO). Bring your own supplies like milk . You might also find some fruit in the orchard to add to your breakfast. The nearest shops and restaurants are in Wairoa so do stock up before. The accommodation is a well managed self-catering suite providing a private space from which to explore the local paradise. Host on-site. Please see the floorplan image for more info. The view, yard and orchard are ready to be sampled.
ABOUT THE HOST'S BOOKING TERMS: * To enter the property you must have the security code. * Office is CLOSED and you must self check-in/out. * For bedding for the daybed see the fee listed under "Extra bed by request". * Great Walk parking at the Visitor Centre and Onepoto, no exceptions. * Wifi instructions are in the guest information book (fee listed under WIFI). * Not wheelchair accessible. Low pressure shower. * Very basic breakfast foods in the suite; no substitutions. * Cold wash/dry/line dry are free; warm/hot small fee. * Rain-forests here so expect insects like mosquitoes, roaches and ants. * Breaking the booking rules by bringing pets, extra guests or kids will result in eviction with no refund. * No visitors, no additional paying guests on arrival.
WALKS AND PARK INFO: Short walks are a great alternative to the 3 day 'Great Walk'; tramp less, see and do more. If it's the views, beaches, trees, falls and other Waikaremoana experiences you're after, and can live without ticking the box next to 'Great Walk', then why not spend 3 nights at the Tuai Suite in comfort instead of 1 and venture forth on Waikaremoana's amazing short walks. You can choose from 30 minute to full day walks. Water taxi bookings at "Te Urewera Visitor Centre (Kura Whenua)". Road closures listed on the NZTA website under "Check state highways". Road SH38 is OK for small cars but 60km of windy narrow gravel via Murupara. Mobile coverage is Vodafone and 2degrees only.
