The staff were very friendly and helpful. There was dedicated parking behind the hotel. The room was very pleasantly furnished and decorated. It was clean and quiet. Check in was smooth. The hotel has a great bar/pub adjoining, where breakfast and dinner was served. It's an old hotel with great routines and processes in place; all in all a professsionally run hotel. It was a great stay.

The property was ok, the owner is still fixing it up from old owners. But cannot complain about the customer service. They were amazing and really went out of their way to make sure everything was sorted. For the price that we paid and the service will definitely stay there again.

Beautiful, quiet location with friendly hosts and a generous breakfast. The guest house is behind the host's house at enough distance that you have privacy. The spa tub was a nice bonus.

The Signal Box

Whanganui

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.

G
Gill
From
New Zealand
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.

    We went to a roast place for dinner on Saturday night, got a large and shared it, it was ample for the two of us. We were for a Dog Agility event so did not do any sightseeing, but when visit I always think the place would be a great place to live.

    Loved Whanganui - wonderful galleries, Saturday market, cafes with excellent coffee, locally owned independent shops, friendly locals and so much history. Great river walkway/cycle path. Lots to see and do in Whanganui and local region.

    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.

    I like this old heritage town.

    I like this old heritage town. It has some lovely parks and grand old buildings. Walking by the river is pleasant and Bushy Park is an enjoyable visit. I enjoyed breakfast at the Orange cafe in town. I wish I had more time to explore further afield. Hoping to come back and enjoy the mountain to sea cycle trail.

    Whanganui is warm.

    Whanganui is warm. The city centre is flat for older folk to walk around as is the interesting cemetary at Aramoho. There are the beach, the river, parks and gardens. Also the museum, art gallery and shops from several op shops through to a huge The Warehouse.

    Whanganui is a beautiful place.

    Whanganui is a beautiful place. People who like the outdoors and nature would love to go to Whanganui. The botanical garden is amazing. What I did not like in Whanganui was all the beggars in the streets. There were many of them, asking for money.

    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

    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!
