Great place to stay for our family of 4. Accommodation was clean and inviting. Hosts were accomodating of our 2 cars and let us know where to park the 2nd car and explained well everything we needed to know. Bathroom & room itself was clean, infact first impressions were right, the entire property was clean and inviting. Will definitely stay here again next time we in Whanganui!
