Peaceful location surrounded by the host’s beautiful garden, serenaded by bellbirds as we relaxed in the private spa. Very nice continental breakfast. Attention to detail, even providing charger cables for iOS and android phones. Easy drive or pleasant walk down to the river market (would be a fittening walk back up the hill!). The hosts were friendly and generous with their help and advice. Loved this place. Excellent value.

Alan and Lois the hosts are just lovely people. We had a warm welcome and they showed us around the property - with a beautiful garden. It was all clean and tidy and just lovely! The hot top is amazing as is the whole outdoor area. They made us a delicious breakfast according to our wishes. Alan and Lois are very accommodating and of great help with our problems. We truly enjoyed our time with them and if we are ever back in Aotearoa we will come back!

The unit was very clean with very comfortable beds. It also exceeded our expectation as it included a spa bath which we weren't expecting so that was a pleasant surprise! For us, the location close to the central city was ideal and the staff were friendly.

Beautiful building, very clean, great location and friendly host. We only stayed one night unfortunately and would definitely return if in Whanganui again. We walked easily into town. In fact, we only used the car to get to the beach. I was a little uncertain about the shared bathroom arrangement but the facilities were spotless.
