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.

    Beautiful location and relaxing place. Johnny is a great host and the cottage worked well for us with 3 grandchildren. Johnny took us on a tour of the farm in his ute and explained some of his plans. The kids loved helping groom the horses, and feeding them apples. The cats and puppy were a big hit too. Great water pressure and temperature control in the shower. Thanks Johnny
