Beautiful house, great location, great hosts. We were in town for two weeks doing work at Massey University, and the city bus to get there stops right outside the door. It's also an easy 20 minute walk to the heart of downtown, and less to convenience stores, cafes, a nice park, and a brand-new footbridge over the Manawatu River. The backyard is large and pretty, the inside of the house is charming and comfortable, and - important if you stay in winter - the heating works well.
