The signal box was everything we had hoped for and better. Peaceful and well appointed. Overlooking gardens and the River Whanganui. Chickens and ducks roam the garden. A lot of thought had gone into furnishing this place. I wish we had booked longer here.

Offering air conditioning, the holiday home offers Blu-ray player, DVD player and a iPod docking station. The property has an outdoor dining area.

Even in the rain it was perfect for our stay. The kitchen was well equipped to allow us to make a pasta dinner complete with garlic bread and a breakfast of French toast using the fresh farm eggs and milk along with the orange juice supplied that tasted like fresh squeezed. So delicious! We really appreciated that there was also a washer plus dryer to refresh our limited clothing supply! The house was spacious and comfortable. In nicer weather we would have enjoyed sitting out on the deck for our meals. It was close to the city but also was rural so very peaceful and private. Definitely an incredible bargain in today’s market. Thank you!!

    Beautifully presented seaside cottage located just across the road from the beach. Was spotless with all the comforts of home and very dog friendly. All the amenities there to cook a meal with a well-equipped kitchen. Enjoyed sitting around the cozy electric fire, listening to the vinyle records. Had such a good sleep in the very comfortable beds. Shower water pressure was excellent. The perfect place to relax and recharge.
