Wonderful home-away-from-home in Whanganui.
A few minutes drive from the Town Centre and down a short driveway we were delighted to find a little oasis of peace and tranquility on the backs of the Whanganui river.
We were met by a lovely couple, Stephen and Mandy, who met us with open arms and provided us with exceptional care and attention during our short stay. After a long trip we arrived late and they heated our dinner for us and made sure that the unit was warm and ready for us to rest. Thank you very much we will definitely come and stay again when we return to Whanganui. Ngā mihi nui. Linda and Mike
