The accommodation was excellent with everything we needed. The garden and surroundings were beautiful and the hosts were very attentive, kind and friendly and offered help at any time. The breakfast was excellent and they provided us with decaf coffee which was lovely. We loved our stay.

The apartment was well laid out, very new looking inside with everything you could need and all facilities were to a very high standard. There were little extras that you would not necessarily expect like luxury shower gel and shampoo and small chocolates

I am not one for lengthy reviews however there are many things that I would like to comment on. This was a last minute booking for the Vintage weekend in Whanganui (? spelling) the Town was very busy with the majority of good Hotels and Bach's booked up, Fordell is a couple of miles out of town. But this was easily compensated with the Hotel’s location, appearance and the Hosts Stephen and Annette. An 1860’s ranch house which burnt down in 1997 ( I believe ) but rebuilt to the original construction with beautiful “Rimu” orange wooden floor, doors and cupboards.everything authentic, but with some modern extras. A sight to behold. The House with 3 rooms at the moment, is set in very well maintained beautiful grounds and gardens surrounded by Palm Trees and woodlands, almost picture postcard views facing the road. The house has history shouting out from every corner. We stayed two nights, which allowed visits to the weekend activities (vintage weekend is recommended) but also allowed time for a tour by the obviously proud owners S and A , both knowledgeable about their property and it’s history. 3 rooms at present one en-suite, offering a hearty welcome,

My stay at 49 Balgownie Estate was truly impressive. The facilities were spotless, spacious, and very well set up. A highlight was the board games, which made for such a fun time pass. It was excellent value for money, and I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting beautiful Whanganui. My family especially loved the peaceful location and the gorgeous flowers surrounding the house. Sue was an outstanding host, providing thoughtful guidance and taking care of every little detail we needed for our stay. Fantastic work team—keep up the amazing service! Highly recommended.

    The unit was very clean with very comfortable beds. It also exceeded our expectation as it included a spa bath which we weren't expecting so that was a pleasant surprise! For us, the location close to the central city was ideal and the staff were friendly.

    Beautiful building, very clean, great location and friendly host. We only stayed one night unfortunately and would definitely return if in Whanganui again. We walked easily into town. In fact, we only used the car to get to the beach. I was a little uncertain about the shared bathroom arrangement but the facilities were spotless.
