About this property

Riverside Townhouse with room for all the family, great location & WIFI

This property is great you can just park up your car, and walk the short distance to the central city shopping area, supermarket, library, museum, art gallery
The Waimaire Riverboat and the I-site centre are both just down the road and of course there is the Saturday morning markets, which have an assortment of local produce and craft.
If you are into a bit of fitness just cross the road and enjoy the walk along the riverbank and do the bridge to bridge circuit.
You are also so central with only a approximate 2 hour drive away from The Tongariro National Park or follow the coastal highway to New Plymouth

Fab location

The house was warm, clean and tidy with everything you would expect on hand. The location is great - view of the river but the best part is that it is within easy walking distance to the city centre. Whanganui is really interesting place to visit. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the comfort of this house.

Easy Access to a Charming Artist-Centered Town

This quaint riverside home was clean, comfortable and inviting and within easy walking distance to everything we needed. The host provided clear and prompt instructions for easy check-in and check-out. The home has a garage and washing machine but no dryer. We will surely book this property again if we are fortunate enough to return to Whanganui!

The river view from the house is gorgeous and a lot of interesting places to visit are just along the road. Warm, comfortable. No smart TV so bring your tablets if you need Netflix/Neon. Books are good!

Weekend in whanganui

Great location, tidy, neat and warm property, bit sparse on kitchen items (e.g. good knives, good oil and proper S&P). Wasn't aware that the property was semi-attached, which was fine, but generally felt the need to be a bit quieter. Owners were great to deal with and really enjoyed not needing to take own linen and towels. Thank you!

Unacceptable filth

Unfortunately the stay was made very uncomfortable and unenjoyable due to the filth. The upstairs toilet area had pubic hair around it on the floor and the upstairs bed was disgusting. It was dreadfully obvious the sheets had not been changed or any effort made to remove pubic and head hair, and other unidentifiable fragments found inside the bed. Frankly I would hate to think about other areas or surfaces (we did not want to inspect after what we found) that would have been skipped over when such an obvious fundamental tasks have been ignored.

Very clean and warm. An older house but has all the basics. Great location. Very close to town and right next to river, so nice for a walk. The only thing that is not on the listing is that the house is a duplex, and unfortunately the neighbours were extremely noisy and were screaming at each other for hours. I messaged the host about it and she rang me straight away and was very apologetic and professional. It is a relatively new problem and the rental agency is trying to get the tenants removed. If the tenants are removed then i recommend this property and the host. But its a lot of money to pay for a night and having to put up with what we had to, so i would check first.

Lots to recommend this stay. An easy walk to all of Whanganui's attractions—from the not to missed Saturday River Market, the steamboat, Sargent Gallery and many other smaller establishments, shopping, eating and only 20 mins to the beach
