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

This is such a special, beautiful place! Very quiet, love the location and all the animals, birds, and nature. Very clean, comfortable beds and the wifi worked great. Very nice outside terrace for sitting. Also we took a taxi with Whanganui Taxi Company (Joseph) into town for drinks in the evening, which was easy and worked well.

The lodge is a prime example of how hospitality should be lived. Upon arrival, you receive a warm welcome – a personal touch and with a lovingly prepared aperitif. The hot tub is already heated and invites you to relax. All rooms are furnished with great attention to detail and provide a warm, inviting atmosphere. Added to this is the high standard of cleanliness – you feel at home from the very first moment. The beds are extremely comfortable; we slept wonderfully. The absolute highlight was the breakfast: individually prepared, fresh, plentiful, and simply delicious. A big thank you to Lois and Alan for your wonderful hospitality – we felt right at home and will definitely be back!

Extremely well equipped. So many little things had been thought of e.g emergency sanitary products, shaving gel, beach towels etc Nice big comfy bed and TV to watch after a long day exploring. Nice and quiet and can walk in to town quite quickly but the river is a little further. Lovely outdoor area for own use. Property was very clean.

Fantastic accommodation and location: separate lodgings with a private entrance in a home giving access to lovely Virginia Lake. The suite is spacious and everything surpassed our expectations, from the layout-access (although the suite is part of a home, it is totally private) and the quality of furnishings/linen/spaciousness, etc. Alka is a lovely host, facilitating easy check-in and (late) check-out and ensuring that we had everything we needed for breakfast and a comfortable stay. We wouldn't hesitate to return here should we back in the Whanganui and thoroughly recommend it to any visitors to the city.

    Lovely hosts, who were very welcoming to their immaculate, warm and comfortable home. Set on a quiet cul-de-sac only 12/15 minutes walk away from town, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, including the continental breakfast with a choice of fruits, breads and jams.

    Spacious room with amazing bathroom with double shower. Comfortable bed and breakfast was provided. Has easy access to Virginia Park although on this occasion we didn’t have time to explore. Lovely host who was very amenable. Easy drive into town.

    In all the years I have traveled around NZ, it was the first place that felt like home. It had a family feel about it, and I absolutely loved staying there. Debbie is a great host 👌
