    This is truly character villa and Debby has done a splendid job to preserve the character and experience of living in a villa from a different era. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would certainly stay here again the next time Im in Whanganui. The self check-in technology Debby is using makes the entire experince from start to finish a breeze - no hassles at all looking for keys in lock boxes or hoping someone is home to let me in.

    Amazing hosts that were so kind and accommodating. The kids loved the games room, ok mum and dad enjoyed it to!. The facilities were really well kept and clean. Our villa was amazing and served us well. The shower and kitchen blew us away at how good it was. The kids loved the playgrounds and the ice-cream machine. We will definitely be back in summer to experience the hot chip machine! And to experience the rest of what is to offer as we had limited time to experience the parks full facilities.
