The unit was clean, tastefully decorated and with the tiled floor and little tropical island gave you the feeling being in another country. Nice friendly welcoming hosts, and a beautiful cooked dinner which was very convenient.

Friendly hosts (inviting guests with a longer stay for dinner, advising them well on the sights), tiled floor (much more hygienic than the common carpeted floors), and access to a beautiful garden.

Lovely being by the river. Garden a good feature. Hosts friendly and had a wonderful meal with them. They were respectful of our privacy so we could have a holiday. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of space.

A spacious self-contained unit by the Whanganui river with your own private garden and outdoor dining area awaits you. Breakfast is provided as is complimentary dinner on one night. Cook indoors and enjoy eating amidst the beautiful tropical garden setting. Insect screens are installed in the unit enabling you to fully enjoy the benefits of indoor-outdoor living. In the colder months enjoy the benefits of being in a fully insulated and double glazed unit.
Our home adjoins the self-contained unit, although the entrance to each is separate. We love to meet and interact with guests. The connecting door to the house is locked for the duration of guests' stays. We are usually onsite for any enquiries, and can supply 1. Dinner 2. Laundry service by arrangement if needed.
We are right by the river close to Te Ao Hou Marae (the centre of many community based activities throughout the week) and the Top 10 Holiday Park (from where canoes can be hired for self-guiding trips on the river) . We are also located on the Te Araroa national walking trail and the Cycle Route from Upokongaro to Whanganui. Buses run hourly Mon-Fri during the day, Sat is less frequent. We are 6km from the town centre.
