Lovely house and property, kids enjoyed the outdoor and indoor games. The fire was fabulous. We had a large group (8), which meant that three kids were on air beds. That was fine for younger kids, but maybe not as suitable if you had a large group of teenagers.

Family get-together in Whanganui

We had a wonderful stay in Whanganui staying in this Bach . The pile of wood for the fire and great heating meant we soon made the Bach cosy and homely and comfortable and all we could wish for for a lovely family get together. Many thanks to our hosts for making us feel so welcome and comfortable.

Absolutely wonderful!!

This was our second time staying here, for a reason! The house is just so comfortable and lovely. We love the quiet location and were lucky enough to spot the deer this time!All the personal touches, including the welcome message on the whiteboard, made for a very relaxing stay. The garden looked stunning! Thank you!!

Great little house. Very quiet neighbourhood. Very friendly owners. Lost of little details to make you feel welcome. A little note on the fridge and homemade jams available. More than enough firewood for cosy nights. Loved our stay.
