The rooms were spacious, comfortable and private which made my stay perfect. The bathroom facilities were clean and well maintained. There was no breakfast at the hotel, however, the venue was central of all convenient stores along with restaurants within walking distance. The beds were comfortable too; this allowed me to get more rest in peace and feel more rejuvenated. The venue provides a pool directly outside the room which was therapeutic. Parking was conveniently outside my room and. the venue provides a laundry facility. Just like a home away from home I would recommend this beautiful haven to anyone who prefers comfort.

Johnny has excellent communication, a well-equipped house, and relaxing scenery with unique touches throughout. I stayed for two nights with my two Shih Tzu dogs and didn’t leave the farm, enjoying the farm animals, birds, and the intriguing sights and sounds, and also spent time reading his book about Renagour, which added to the experience. Fig is super friendly, and a joy. Fresh honey or feed the horses, plenty to explore. Check-in and check-out were straightforward, and it’s an easy drive from Wellington. I will definitely return when I need downtime.

Te Whare o Rehua Sarjeant Art Gallery is exceptional.

Te Whare o Rehua Sarjeant Art Gallery is exceptional. There's a good range of funky cafes and bars (check out the craft beer spots on Drew Ave and the Papaiti Gin bar) and the Saturday Farmers Market is definitely worth a visit. Other places to check out are the Durie Hill tower and elevator, the walk along the river and Paige's book shop. Fuirther out of town there is Bason Botanic Garden and Kai Iwi beach.

I only had a Monday there, which wasn't ideal as a lot of places were closed. I'd love to go back and spend more time exploring the city's incredible art scene and getting to know it properly.

We love everything Wanganui has to offer from rugged West Coast Beaches through fabulous parks, Diury Hill and a lovely old fashioned shopping street. Plus we discovered for the first time the New Zealand Glass Works! Spend two hours watching these artists at work and could have stayed longer!

Whanganui is a great spot for a short holiday.

Whanganui is a great spot for a short holiday. It has a vibrant arts scene, more than I realised. The Sargeant Gallery is wonderful, as are the several smaller private galleries around town, e.g. Katie Brown's. The Glassworks is really worth a visit too, beautiful glass art and you can watch the glass artists at work - even take a glass-blowing course if you wish. In our two-night stay, we had two excellent dinners, one at the Japanese Kitchen and the other at High-Kut Bistro, both lovely venues. Whanganui is easy to get around and there are lots of interesting corners and shops. Great if you're into opportunity shopping!

Whanganui had a lot of history I didn't realise.

Whanganui had a lot of history I didn't realise. I recommend doing the Waimarie one way and the bike ride back. It was wonderful. The Saturday markets were a must too and the sweet slice shop was our favourite. We also were lucky enough to see some action at the Glassworks, so cool to see it happening in real life and not have to pay a fee. We would definently come back with our family. We were just a bit disappointed that the Drurie tunnel and elevator were closed when the website said it was open. That was one thing we were looking forward to.

We enjoyed the tranquility and spaciousness of the setting of this homestay, with views over Whanganui. While we didn't use the pool, it looked wonderful and there were plenty of comfortable outdoor seating options. The interior was well-equipped and comfortable and we appreciated the generous additional touches. Our host, Tessa, was warm and welcoming.
