Charming Whanganui
The apartment was quite charming really. I particularly enjoyed the panelled room. Whanganui was a real suprise. An interesting and pretty city. I hope to come back when the Art Gallery reopens. We also really enjoyed the River Road. I had read James K Baxter Sestina to the River Road and it was so lovely to have that journeying and cultural experience.

Quiet and comfortable
Tucked down a driveway this accommodation is quirky and interesting. It is one half of the house but quiet even though people right next door. Easy parking. Beds were comfortable and there was everything we needed. Gas fire very cosy in the drawing room. Close enough to town, and the water tower is in walking distance up a track close by. Can I suggest the rangehood gets a good clean (it was sticky by the buttons on top to turn it on) and also the alarm clock was too difficult to set.

A beautiful character home, close to the city centre but in a quiet neighbourhood. We found everything we needed and our hosts were friendly and thoughtful. We found Whanganui a fascinating, art-filled city.

Not enough room
It was to small for a group our size, 6 people & we were tripping over each other. We didnt like the fact the toilet was off the kitchen. If you looked up there was cobwebs everywhere. The place would be great for a couple but other than that Id look elsewhere. Its beautifully decorated but i wanted to dust & vacuum after settling in. The place is very well equipped so a bonus.
