Our conservatory is the room in our house that people gravitate to as it is a real sun trap. The bifold doors open up up two walls of the room, bringing the 'outside in'. If there are four people in your group you can have both rooms and share the bathroom facilities. Please message me if you wish to have both rooms.
Graeme and I decided to start travelling 40 years ago. This we have done to numerous countries utilising hotels, bnbs, home exchanges, House sitting and air bnbs. It is such a pleasure to share experiences with our guests, the good and the bad. It is like revisiting our travels all over again. We thoroughly enjoy hearing of our guests' experiences and future travel plans, helping if needed. We both enjoy gardening, Bridge and e-biking.
We are a few blocks to the CBD and supermarkets guests - some guests choose to walk there. Most of the local attractions are found in town, eg restaurants, museum, art galleries, local market, i-SITE, river cruise., laundromats. We live in a quiet, cul de sac with mostly retired people. There are not many cars in the street. Our street is opposite the Racecourse and the Whanganui Function Centre. The hospital is 5 minutes drive.
