This is an amazing place to stay, sadly I couldn't join the family this year but I know they all loved the house and is really comfortable and well set up. Appreciate the continental breakfast that is provided.

We loved staying here - it had everything we needed and was warm, inviting and obviously presented with care. Enjoyed that we could walk to the farmers market, town, galleries and around the bridges.

We had a great time in Whanganui, although we were working . Was made a whole lot easier by coming back to a place that felt like home, thanks for having us and we would definitely stay again
8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2025
very comfortable and well-equipped house. Safe for children with good fencing and gates and plenty of space for them to play. They enjoyed the toy box (wanted to watch DVDs but machine didn't seem to work). Kitchen is well-equipped and spacious and washing machine was a boon. Close to river and a nice walk along it to town. Good communication with Allan.
