About this property

Durievale Retreat - Peaceful with Views (SKY/WiFi)

Designed with every need in mind, this lovely property has everything you need for a quiet, relaxing holiday.

Located on Durie Vale Road, a unique sheltered microclimate with peaceful park-like surroundings, country views, and abundant birdlife is all within easy walking distance of the river, town, and main attractions.

Enjoy breakfast with the birds or evening barbeques on the sunny north-facing balcony or decks.

Having undergone a complete makeover both inside and out this warm, cosy cottage features a new kitchen and bathroom, retaining the original gloriously deep bathtub, just perfect for lengthy soaks.

Tastefully decorated with new carpet, modern furniture, electronics, appliances, and contemporary decor. Original works of art from some of Wanganui's finest artists are on display.

Treat yourself to a range of complimentary eco-friendly toiletries, organic teas, hot chocolate, and coffees, including from an Nespresso machine.

Entertain yourself with SKY TV on the large-screen TV, watch a DVD or listen to your favourite music on the entertainment system with ipod doc. Ultra-fast fibre broadband WIFI.

Retire into luxurious beds featuring luxury linens, electric blankets, and soft mattress underlays.

Infants catered for with a complimentary porta-cot, high chair, and stroller/pram available upon request. Fully fenced front and back sections with ample room for outside play. A children's playground is within easy walking distance along the Vale and a fully stocked toy and game cupboard will keep children amused for hours. Depending on the season, fruits, herbs, and vegetables may be collected from the gardens for use during your stay.
