Home from home
Great place to stay to enjoy the area as a family or group. The house was spotless, well furnished, quiet and with a nice view of and access to the Whanganui River. Everything you might need for a comfy short or longer stay is provided, to 'home' rather than 'bach' standard. Dick and Cherie are accommodating hosts and long term local residents. Dick is a keen hunter and angler and up for a good yarn. Highly recommended

Quiet cottage
This property is on the edge of a small neighborhood bordering a large pasture. It is comfortable, quiet, with peaceful views. Dick and Cherie are wonderful hosts. It is close to restaurants in Taumaranui if so desired. We are planning on returning.
