A beautiful character home, close to the city centre but in a quiet neighbourhood. We found everything we needed and our hosts were friendly and thoughtful. We found Whanganui a fascinating, art-filled city.

Relaxing stay in Whanganui

We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 nights at this accommodation over Christmas. It is located in a quiet neighbourhood, set back from the road with beautiful native bush and bird life. There was lots of space and the beds were comfy. It would have been perfect with a better shower and a light over the vanity.

Beautiful home, only downside was the host was pretty much in the next room. Communication was good, host was helpful and we had extra guests @ 25 per head. I would definately stay again and recommend this property to visitors
