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!

The room was very comfortable with superior facilities. The location was just beside the lovely river sidewalks. Host Rory was very kind and helpful. I missed his instructions for checking in and phoned him up. After his explanation I got into my room without problem. Yet he still showed up within a few minutes to see we were ok. Really appreciated it.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    The best place to stay in Whanganui! Super accommodating hosts who have thought of absolutely everything you'd need for a wonderful stay. The space is lovely with an amazing garden and the service from Stacy was phenomenal. We requested another bed to be set up in the spacious lounge and there was still plenty of room. Excellent coffee and granola available for breakfast at your leisure. Cannot recommend highly enough!
