Clean and quiet!
A beautiful character home, close to the city centre but in a quiet neighbourhood. We found everything we needed and our hosts were friendly and thoughtful. We found Whanganui a fascinating, art-filled city.

Not enough room
It was to small for a group our size, 6 people & we were tripping over each other. We didnt like the fact the toilet was off the kitchen. If you looked up there was cobwebs everywhere. The place would be great for a couple but other than that Id look elsewhere. Its beautifully decorated but i wanted to dust & vacuum after settling in. The place is very well equipped so a bonus.

Quiet and private. Interesting old, character house with beautiful dark wood. Just meant the lighting wasn't great for reading. Easy access to the cycle way.

Amazing Old Villa
Great communication with owners. Really clean, comfortable large old villa - felt like we were in old castle. Even dining room and good small kitchen fully equipped with plenty of cutlery, dishes, pans, etc. Very comfortable beds. Most enjoyable stay.
