The photos of the accommodation are accurate although still don’t really capture how absolutely relaxing and special the place is.
Very prompt and easy communication, clear instructions and no fuss self check in.
Alithea has created a lovely peaceful haven - seemingly thinking of everything for guests.
Greeted by the waft of Jo Malone room spray, the softest feather pillows, quality linen and a selection of treats like fresh eggs and avocado....we appreciated the attention to detail.
With plenty of cooking utensils and crockery, glassware etc it is a great ‘stay-in’ option for meals but also close enough to town if you wanted to eat out. We can highly recommend ‘Caroline’s’.... 5 mins by car down the road.
The river cycle/walk track is across the road for those wanting a bit of physical exertion but if, like us, you like to river/people watch the couch provides a perfect front row seat.
We had pristine late summer sunshine so the cottage was constantly full of light and warmth.
While the ‘family’ home is adjoining and we crossed paths with various members, including Basil the dog, you are afforded your privacy and independence.
If my travels took me back to Whanganui, this is where I would head to again. It is a slice of bliss.
