Sep 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy 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. ##### Debbie L.

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! ##### Pauline E. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024
