The house was lovely, and felt like a home. It had a lovely garden with herbs and fruit trees including lots of fejoas which was a real treat. Would stay again. Thanks!

Wow what an absolute stunning place. We were definitely not expecting this. Out in the country with a view from our upstairs room out over the valley. Private deck area with Kereru in the trees beside us. Frances even left us with feijoas, homemade muesli, yoghurt bread, milk and spreads which was not expected. Thank you so much for sharing your little piece of paradise

We had a very comfortable stay at this wonderfully located apartment. We enjoyed the sunshine and superb views of the river and downtown Whanganui from the living area and the deck.We had everything we needed to cook meals including a few supplies like salt, oil and even tomato sauce. The owners have been very thoughtful with the contents of the apartment making it a very convenient place to stay.It was easy to get to from town by car and also quick to walk. The stairs to get down the hill are nearby and you can get the elevator back up if you don't want to walk back up.I'd definitely recommend and we would stay again the next time we are visiting.
