    Tony was a brilliant host, fantastically helpful and welcoming. The whole studio was fitted out with everything me needed and details we had not thought of. Excellent breakfast.

    The property is tucked away behind the main house, and private. Host had paid attention to the little details, so everything you need is there.

    We loved the location, garden, birds, swing in the big tree, outdoor couch on the deck and the generosity of our hosts to allow us to use their pool, spa and barbeque and even help us carry our luggage in!

This peaceful studio retreat is at the rear of our section, across a small stream where you are surrounded by native, fruit and exotic trees, birdlife and a chance to 'be'. 5 minutes by car from Whanganui Central with a real country feel, but 'in town'. King bed (or converted to two singles), access to the family's spa, swimming pool & BBQ area by the main house (we use the spa from 9-9.20pm each evening, otherwise it's yours to use). A sink, microwave, toaster, toasty pie maker and coffee machine offer self-catering. A continental breakfast is provided. Sorry, no pets or smoking. Come, relax, enjoy!
