THE OLD POST OFFICE LODGE Holiday Home's West Wing is especially perfect for singles/couples/family wanting 4-star mid to high-end accom rich with character and nice finishing touches. 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.
