Step into a piece of history and enjoy modern luxury at our stunning award-winning, New York-style apartments and spacious Penthouse, proudly situated in the vibrant heart of historic Whanganui. Nestled in the iconic 1914 'Johnston and Co.' building, our family invites you to relax in a beautifully renovated apartment that showcases stunning original brickwork alongside chic, contemporary finishes and comforts. The 'Johnston and Co.' building is a celebrated recipient of the 2023 Whanganui Regional Heritage Awards for its meticulous restoration. The building won the Supreme Award, the Public Realm - Saved and Restored Award, and the Seismic Award. Your unforgettable stay in our treasured piece of Whanganui's heritage awaits!
Whanganui, a UNESCO City of Design, is a hub of creativity and culture. This vibrant city is home to an array of talented artists, and its streets are lined with numerous galleries, theaters, and music venues. The city's calendar is bustling with cultural and fun events, complemented by fancy cafes, distinguished art museums, lush gardens, and picturesque heritage buildings. At the heart of Whanganui's soul is its majestic river, the longest navigable river in New Zealand. Historically a vital transport route for both Maori and European settlers, the Whanganui River played a key role in the development and historic fortune of the city. The built beauty is perfectly paired with the town’s natural landscape. Wherever you look, you'll find breathtaking views - from the wide river to wild black sand beaches, and the rolling green hills. On a clear day, the horizons are graced by the majestic peaks of Mt Taranaki and Mt Ruapehu, adding to the town's picturesque charm. Whanganui offers a perfect blend of cultural richness and natural beauty, making it an unforgettable destination for visitors.
