My husband and I spent several nights with Jock and Lorraine, who were terrific hosts, being very helpful and friendly. The room was large and open plan and had a lot of natural light and good airflow. If one was not going out, you could just leave the door open for extra fresh air, as the door opened into the private courtyard away from the street.
Jock and Lorraine suggested places to eat and there was also an abundance of leaflets in the room for suggested activities you could do, while in Whanganui.
A simple continental breakfast was provided, which was enough for us. There is a microwave for heating up food but no cooking hob or sink. You just leave your breakfast dishes on the tray and Jock whisks them away and returns them clean and ready for use.
The bathroom has a retro decor vibe and is accessed via a spiral staircase. Some potential guests may find it daunting but we had no problems. All in all, a great stay.
