This peaceful studio retreat is at the rear of our section, across a small stream where you are surrounded by native, fruit and exotic trees, birdlife and a chance to 'be'.
5 minutes by car from Whanganui Central with a real country feel, but 'in town'. King bed (or converted to two singles), access to the family's spa, swimming pool & BBQ area by the main house (we use the spa from 9-9.20pm each evening, otherwise it's yours to use). A sink, microwave, toaster, toasty pie maker and coffee machine offer self-catering. A continental breakfast is provided. Sorry, no pets or smoking.
Come, relax, enjoy!
