I had a perfect time at this small but awesome studio. All these little details in the studio made my stay even more perfect. The host was also really lovely and welcoming. I definitely want to return to this amazing place.

Susan

From

Isle of Man

The apartment was well laid out, very new looking inside with everything you could need and all facilities were to a very high standard. There were little extras that you would not necessarily expect like luxury shower gel and shampoo and small chocolates

Very beautiful house. We could use the kitchen, dining room, living room, terrace, garden. The fridge is filled with everything you need for breakfast. And we could make our own breakfast whenever and whatever we wanted. The host is very friendly. Very relaxed and peaceful atmosphere.

The accommodation was excellent. The best in NZ so far. The owner was waiting for us even though we arrived very late. We didn't have to think about breakfast. There was everything. If someone wants to spend their vacation like in their own home, I recommend this accommodation.

Sarjeant Gallery and café are well worth a visit.

Sarjeant Gallery and café are well worth a visit. The café salads were delicious & different and very well priced. Have recommended to others since then. Durie Hill elevator also a worthwhile & fun activity.

So much to see. The architecture is beautiful.

So much to see. The architecture is beautiful. Old buildings lovingly painted in pastel colours , a superb playground for the children , a paddle steamer riverboat which cruises the Whanganui river . A very pretty city with lots to enjoy. Great art shops and the best farmers markets ever . Fab restaurants to name a few The Rutland Arms , and the Castlecliff cafe/restaurant “The Citadel”.

I love Whanganui and have always enjoyed my time there — I have family in the area. Momiji was a lovely place to go for dinner, and Caroline’s Boatshed is always a favourite for a meal. The Saturday market is also a great place to visit and never disappoints.

Beautiful river city.

Beautiful river city. You can bike safely along designated roads or try the mountain bike parks. You can surf at the local beach. Gardens are magic, and the town bustles. Fab cafes all over. Brilliant arts centre, local artists everywhere, and the Sarjeant Art Gallery is sublime. Try the Riverside Markets Kowhai Park also, is a fantastic spot for young and old, to play and picnic. Easy to get around the city.

A bit off the normal tourist track - but well worth the stop over. Great coffee and toasties at Franks restaurant. Lovely Main Street to look at the shops. A large variety of antique shops. The river is very nice to walk along as well.

The Whanganui Museum and the Sergeant Gallery are both worthy of extended visits, they are a highlight for any visitor to the area. The small arts and crafts galleries are interesting and innovative; some very fine and quirky cafes enrich the experience - for any visitor, Whanganui is now one of the most satisfying cultural locations in NZ.

Spacious house across the river from the town but most central f or most of Whanganuis activities. Great upstairs bedroom and bathroom. Kitchen excellent but larder needs sorting.. Spacious and comfortable for just 2 of us. Laundry facilities good. Parking on the street below the steps easy.. Great views over the river.
