Set in Whanganui in the Manawatu region, The Signal Box has a balcony and river views. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The property offers barbecue facilities and outdoor furniture.

The kitchen has a microwave, a toaster and a fridge and there is a private bathroom with a hair dryer and free toiletries. This guest house is allergy-free and non-smoking. The Signal Box is perfectly formed- well considered in every way. The setting is amazing, a rural scene overlooking the beautiful Whanganui River. Chickens and ducks, and a wide range of fruit trees lie between the Signal Box and the River. The large trees are home to native birds. There's always something to watch or contemplate on. It is so peaceful. The Signal Box is set up for two people so don't bring the family . You need to be able to climb a flight of stairs to get there but once inside the 180 degree outlook is a wondrous thing. And all of this just 8 minutes drive to town! It would be a great place to have some alone time.

Nice ground level apartment with plenty of room, comfortable bed and very clean. Carol was a great host and made sure we felt at home. Breakfast was continental with 3 different types of cereal and other amenities. We would detour out of our way to stay here again! Even got a spot in the garage for my rental car...can't beat that! Great value for the price.

Featuring inner courtyard views, Central Garden Villa offers accommodation with a garden and a patio, around 48 km from RNZAF Base Ohakea. This guest house features a terrace. Outdoor seating is also available at the guest house. Simply fantastic. This is a really well appointed self contained small apartment in a very quiet part of town. Parking is outside the property on the street but very convenient and safe. The villa has all facilities for cooking and we eat in the villa all 3 nights. With an excellent washer and dryer we wee able to wash clothes and dry outside on a drying rack - ample pegs provided. There is a small, elegant garden with a sitting area to enjoy the evening sunshine. All was very comfortable. Supermarkets were close. It was a 1.5 to 2 km walk into town, which we did not do. An excellent stay

The air-conditioned accommodation is 27 km from Palmerston North Convention Centre, and guests can benefit from private parking available on site and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is located 27 km from Arena Manawatu. Fantastic area. Really nice and quiet. Some sheep right next to the house in an awesome garden. The house itself is very nicely done. Bit tight with the headroom in the bedroom, but shouldn't be a problem if you are a bit flexible. Everything looked really clean and new. Excellent choice!
