Tony & Jill were wonderful and welcoming hosts who couldn’t do enough for us. Tony helped carry our suitcase from the car to the studio at the back of the property. The pool and Jacuzzi were a fabulous added bonus. The icing on the cake was the G&T our hosts gave us by the poolside. Outstanding! At the same time we had privacy as the studio is completely seperate from the main house. The Studio is in a wonderfully landscaped garden with a wide range of plants & trees. The accommodation is “compact and bijou”, but has everything you might need. Very cleverly designed. There is outside seating areas with a small table and two chairs to sit & watch tv. At the end of the stay our hosts said we could check out later if we wished. Very relaxed family oriented hosts, who gave us great information about the town, and where to eat and visit etc. Small continental breakfast that was very tasty. We were also given a lovely homemade slice, to have with a cuppa when we arrived as well. 😋 Highly recommended!

It was worth staying here, very nice rooms. If you love classic but still modern, this is the place to be and sleep. Nice shower good beds (mattress was not too hard not to soft just perfect) I did love the classic lounge that was taking care off nice and tidy. You can have a nice walk outside. There are some funny (jersey) cows. Nice host very friendly

Whanganui

The Signal Box is perfectly formed- well considered in every way. The setting is amazing, a rural scene overlooking the beautiful Whanganui River. Chickens and ducks, and a wide range of fruit trees lie between the Signal Box and the River. The large trees are home to native birds. There's always something to watch or contemplate on. It is so peaceful. The Signal Box is set up for two people so don't bring the family . You need to be able to climb a flight of stairs to get there but once inside the 180 degree outlook is a wondrous thing. And all of this just 8 minutes drive to town! It would be a great place to have some alone time.

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.

I really like Whanganui & have visited often.

I really like Whanganui & have visited often. The city centre is lovely & there aren't food shops all over the place. This time I bought stuff from the supermarket to eat but I know some of the cafes are good. There should be a register of decent New Zealanders who respect motels so that they are looked after properly when they book for a visit. Some of the reviews appear to be vetted to show only good stuff. Unfortunately, the motels I know are good are usually booked out. There are now 2 in Whanganui I won't be going back to.

The property is clean, warm and has everything we need! We had the most amazing time during the easter weekend. It was our first time in Whanganui and the location is very accessible to all the spots we wanted to see. The best part of our stay is the pool and hot tub! They even set up a very cozy and warm place for us beside the pool to watch movies. Sharon welcomed us and was very nice all throughout our stay. Thanks so much and we’ll definitely come back next time!

Perfect size for family of four, so clean and perfectly dressed for a holiday home. A relaxed and cozy feel with everything we needed. So nice to have spa pool, being out there under a star filled sky with the lights of Whanganui in the background beyond. What a relaxing weekend we had, lovely walk to the lake close by and great coffee within walking distance at the lake. Would definitely love to stay again, thankyou

Walkable distance to downtown Whanganui alongside the river. Ideal for self-catering with good range of kitchen and dining accessories. Full range and oven. Off-street parking right outside the door. Heat pump in the living room downstairs; small fan heater upstairs. Loved the personal touches - complimentary organic milk along with home-made bread and home-made jams.

Very new, well appointed roomy studio apartment with wifi, kitchen bar, spacious shower and large comfortable bed. Off-street parking behind a gate gave extra security. Rory is a thoughtful, helpful and gracious host. Whanganui is a beautiful town with a rich history, although I needed to spend my time working so I only got a glimpse! Worth a second look!
