Unfortunately we only stayed here one night on our way to Wellington as I would dearly have loved to stay longer in this little gem of a property. The hosts were so friendly and accommodating, adding so many little extras which made it truly a wonderful place to stay. Situated in their garden, surrounded by nature, the property had a wonderfully comfy bed, great shower, good cooking facilities and lovely outside seating. We were offered a swim in the pool and use of the Bbq which unfortunately we didn't have time to try. I would totally recommend staying here and certainly would love to return

The setting was very private and tranquil with a beautiful garden view. The decor was modern and cosy inside. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed for our night's stay including some biscuits with our coffee and some breakfast items. Julie our host was very welcoming and helpful. The location was great too.

From

When you pull into the drive of the Signal Box, you'll see a house under renovation to your left. Pay no attention to that, but look straight ahead; the unit above the garages is the large, lovely room you'll have all to yourself. Enormous windows look over the bucolic property, which gently slopes down to the Whanganui River. It's really like a mini paradise and owner Renee couldn't be nicer or more helpful. Highly recommended!

Cheryl

From

This is nice home, beautifully decorated and a wonderful place to stay! Our hosts were very friendly and helpful, we enjoyed our conversations. the home was perfect for our needs and would be great for anyone traveling one night to one week or a month. They have thought of everything here and we didn’t lack for anything. So comfortable, we were immediately put at ease upon arrival and after checking in to the home. Lovely outdoor deck where we enjoyed breakfast and one of the tasty oranges from a tree in the front yard. This is a special place to stay whether traveling solo, as a couple or a family as there is plenty of room to spread out and even games for kids of all ages. The kitchen has all you could need to cook several meals and the laundry has supplies. We would stay here again given the opportunity. Thanks much for a delightful stay!

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.

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!

Perfect size for family of four, so clean and perfectly dressed for a holiday home. A relaxed and cozy feel with everything we needed. So nice to have spa pool, being out there under a star filled sky with the lights of Whanganui in the background beyond. What a relaxing weekend we had, lovely walk to the lake close by and great coffee within walking distance at the lake. Would definitely love to stay again, thankyou
