A great stay was booked for a 3 day stay for some family from auckland. Host are lovely as they live behind the house but that was ok as its still very private. House had everything its warm cosy and very homely but would suggest a dryer as there were not enough towels for a family of 7 for those 3 days. And emptying the rubbish bin an recycling bin before new guest arrive as they were full the day of check in. Overall i 100% recommend.

We had a fabulous stay at Charmae. Allan and Kathy are awesome hosts and really kind and caring. Thoughtful things throughout the house like cotton buds, coffee, coffee crystals. The house is pretty amazing and very spacious. It was really beneficial for us to have bedrooms separated by other spaces, so the bedrooms aren't all next to each other. We found that worked really well. We also had car trouble - Allan and Kathy were so helpful! I can't thank them enough for kindness.

Allan and Kathy have a beautiful guest house that is well located and feels like a home away from home. We really enjoyed staying at Charmae and highly recommend their guest house. Allan and Kathy are wonderful kind hosts. They welcomed up warmly and the house has little things that most places wouldn't think of like cotton buds, coffee, and sugar crystals! We stayed five nights in total, so on our return back through Wanganui, they even remembered my mum couldn't have the electric blanket plugged in - extremely thoughtful. It's the little things that really made us feel welcome. We also had car trouble. Allan and Kathy were so kind and helpful and even arranged for us to stay another night so we could get the car fixed and travel home safe. We really recommend staying at Charmae and are ever grateful to Allan and Kathy.

Our stay was amazing. The home was equipped with everything you could possibly need. The property owners were very welcoming and had organised everything for our arrival. Nothing was to much of an ask and they went above and beyond to make us comfortable. Great location central to everything. Our family had a place to unwind and relax after adventuring around Whanganui. Thank you to the owners for making our holiday a memorable one. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed our stay and the house is as listed. Only complaint were the mattresses on the single beds. Might be okay for children, but not good for adults. All 4 adults that stayed in single beds complained. Other than that the property was perfect and the continental breakfast was a thoughtful addition.

This was a great place to stay. We were coming to Whanganui for a funeral and needed to book accommodation for the first time as all our family’s homes were full. In my angst I somehow managed to book the wrong dates but the hosts were incredibly understanding and went to great lengths to ensure the house was ready for us on the actual days we needed it. It was very clean and warm and welcoming, had everything we needed ( more, really) and gave us a lovely quiet space to retreat to during an emotional time. And it turned out to be really well sited for us as well. Thank you for a great stay - would absolutely recommend!!

Fabulous character home...all the comforts

Friendly host Alan, very accommodating and helpful. This Bach had a lot of hidden extras and finer touches; fresh linen on beds, extra snacks and condiments, the bathrooms were resourced with soaps, body washes, shampoos and conditioner- none of which was the cheap plastic kind you get in motels. The home itself catered for its numbers and had lovely asthetics with tourist information for the whanganui area. Simply a lovely home
