Beach Vibes

Ann GraceRating, 5 stars1 month ago

The beach house if very nice and homey. We are a family of 7 and we were able to cook and relax the only thing I can suggest is to put some lights on the terrace area specially if the guests are having dinner on it. But overall if was a good experience.

Helen's Nest

BillRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Helen was really responsive to our questions, always answering promptly and clearly. The place was immaculate and the little garden around it was a treasure. We enjoyed being close to the centre of Whanganui (walkable) and close to the river, while still having peace and quiet. We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay even though the weather was quite cold ... man that log fire really heats the place up!
