The Braeburn is an absolutely gorgeous historical building with a stunning view across the Whanganui River, from a large, comfortable, stylish balcony.
It has a clawfoot bath which is great fun - but no shower, so getting clean takes a bit longer than usual.
The room has off street parking outside and all you need for a comfortable stay - we didn't give a perfect score, because a few items weren't quite right - like having bedding suitable for summer nights, and places to hang towels, but I'm sure they'll be fixed soon.
