It was very nice, the only thing missing was that a table or another set drawers on the left side of the bed would have been good (for our morning coffee in bed)

We enjoyed our stay with its amazing views. It was fun to access the city using the lift and a quick walk over the bridge got us there in no time. The accommodation was comfortable and suited all our needs.

This home was in the perfect location for our stay in Whanganui. A lovely home that had everything we needed including comfortable beds with the added bonus of a friendly family dog that visited us each day. Barb and Des were great to deal with and we would not hesitate booking here again.

Tidy, warm accomodation situated on the bottom floor of the host’s home. Perfect for our small family group (2 adults and child). Very friendly hosts and nice location. Great views of the river and out to sea. Enjoyed being so close to the memorial tower and historic elevator, both were visited and enjoyed during our stay. Thanks for having us at such short notice.

We got the best view of Whanganui from our stay. Easy access to the lookout and elevator made the weekend very easy. The accommodation was warm and very comfortable. It was a short walk to town and the market and I highly recommend the Thai Chair massage guy at the market.
I would definitely go back

top of the hill!!
the accommodation was clean and cozy and provided everything I needed for one night stay. Whanganui has alot to offer in places to eat so I didn't prepare a meal at the accommodation. Garden surroundings are very nice and peaceful. I had trouble connecting to wifi but I was informed that was being sorted but I didn't miss it for one night.
