We enjoyed our stay at the house. The birds were a delight and the owners were friendly and responsive. A lovely setting for a stay in the river city.

Attractive accommodation - clean, fresh, tidy, tasteful interior, well-presented bedrooms & lounge - in a really impressive location ... relaxing serene atmosphere on the quiet south side of Whanganui River with beautiful forest & hill views ... excellent communication from hosts (who went out of their way to accommodate us) ... only stayed 1 night but would've liked longer to properly enjoy the balcony, birdsong & backyard.

Wow, this is my first time in a book-a-Bach, I think I have been spoilt! I have always wanted to stay on Durie Hill, and I wasn’t disappointed. A lovely house, fully furnished and stocked well. The views were great with native Kereru present too. Highly recommend, thank-you so much!
