[Toilet and Shower not designed for wheelchairs.] Other things to note This is one-half of an extraordinarily unique and fully renovated property THE OLD POST OFFICE Holiday Home. This wing of the OLD POST OFFICE is what originally was the Post Master's Residence section of the Old Post Office building. THE OLD POST OFFICE LODGE Holiday Home's EAST-WING is especially perfect for 2-3 singles/couples, or a Family/Families. TRAINS & TRUCKS TRAFFIC NOISE & VIBRATIONS: Post Offices of course were traditionally always built on main roads, which have oftentimes over the past century turned into main highways. Being on the corner of Ōwhango Rd and State Highway 4, there is traffic noise, so anyone who is a light sleeper may wish to wear ear-plugs. However, most guests don't experience problematic issues with the highway traffic noise. Also, because Ōwhango Village is entirely built on volcanic pumice rock, the whole Village vibrates when trains pass through (and it has done for more than a century). Many guests love the sound and vibration of the trains passing ... like being part of your own 1920s Agatha Christie novel! We do hope you will all enjoy embracing this authentically Owhango experience.
