Set in Whanganui in the Manawatu region, The Signal Box has a balcony and river views. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The property offers barbecue facilities and outdoor furniture. When you pull into the drive of the Signal Box, you'll see a house under renovation to your left. Pay no attention to that, but look straight ahead; the unit above the garages is the large, lovely room you'll have all to yourself. Enormous windows look over the bucolic property, which gently slopes down to the Whanganui River. It's really like a mini paradise and owner Renee couldn't be nicer or more helpful. Highly recommended!

A recently renovated guest house, Te Piringa - The Sanctuary offers accommodation in Whanganui. The air-conditioned accommodation is 47 km from RNZAF Base Ohakea, and guests can benefit from private parking available on site and free WiFi. Where do i start.....Location: up a valley just off Durie hill, lovely quiet street, easy parking right outside. Really close to town. Access/Host: very easy access,straight in via well communicated lockbox process. Met our lovely host upon arrival and welcomed. Other than that we had complete privacy and peace, happy in the knowledge our host was just a call or text away. The Sanctuary: very spacious with everything we wanted and so much more: everything you would have in your own home (minus the junk🤣) 8 seat table, couches, games,books, sky tv on big flat-screen. 2 very comfy big beds, top quality linen and towels. Big modern bathroom, great shower pressure. HT rail. Big fridge, nespresso machine with pods, etc etc etc.... Marmite and vegemite even ! Definitely in my saved list for future visits.
