Great place to stay in Whanganui. Peaceful bush setting while close to town. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. Our hosts were very helpful and communication was excellent. Highly recommend Durievale Retreat.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Everything was as advertised. The walk from the street to the house was not a problem at all. The home was equipped with everything and more than one may need in a home from home. We enjoyed in particular the outdoor area - the 2 decks. It is surrounded by lots of trees with many birds and at night one can spot the stars in the sky.
