Headlands Estate in Whanganui provides adults-only accommodation with a garden and a shared lounge. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. The homestay also provides free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. It was worth staying here, very nice rooms. If you love classic but still modern, this is the place to be and sleep. Nice shower good beds (mattress was not too hard not to soft just perfect) I did love the classic lounge that was taking care off nice and tidy. You can have a nice walk outside. There are some funny (jersey) cows. Nice host very friendly

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. Second time we have stayed here, expectations well met both times. Rural, secluded facility with all you need for a break. Clean and tidy with comfortable bed and brilliant heating (hot water radiators). Eclectic collection of NZ books to read are an added bonus. WiFi was excellent. Contactless (our request, because of medical issues on our part) worked well for us, the hosts are on site but unobtrusive.
