Stay somewhere with a story.
post office
Stay inside one of Whangamomona’s most recognisable historic buildings. Originally built in 1911, the old Post Office has been thoughtfully restored into a unique accommodation experience that blends heritage character with modern comfort.
Set just moments from the hotel, The Post Office offers a quieter and more private stay while still keeping you close to the heart of the Republic. Original architectural details, warm interiors and the building’s rich local history make it unlike anywhere else along the Forgotten World Highway.
Whether you’re passing through for the night or slowing down to explore the region, The Post Office is a stay full of story, character and small-town charm.
