A Very Comfortable Home

Such a spacious and well equipped accommodation in a lovely historic town. We would recommend it to anyone looking for a place in the area. We were only two people but it would certainly be comfortable for a family or a group of adults. It has everything one could hope to find for a comfortable stay.

Perfect Family Accommodation

A great stay was booked for a 3 day stay for some family from auckland. Host are lovely as they live behind the house but that was ok as its still very private. House had everything its warm cosy and very homely but would suggest a dryer as there were not enough towels for a family of 7 for those 3 days. And emptying the rubbish bin an recycling bin before new guest arrive as they were full the day of check in. Overall i 100% recommend.

Home away from home

Our stay was amazing. The home was equipped with everything you could possibly need. The property owners were very welcoming and had organised everything for our arrival. Nothing was to much of an ask and they went above and beyond to make us comfortable. Great location central to everything. Our family had a place to unwind and relax after adventuring around Whanganui. Thank you to the owners for making our holiday a memorable one. Highly recommended.
