We may have been the first AirBnB guests that Kathy and her husband Peter have had, but make no mistake, this couple know how to host! They have been doing it well for years with local and international guests, and they do it very well.

From meeting to leaving, every interaction with Kathy and Peter was relaxed and positive. They were incredibly helpful with everything and they were very thoughtful in anticipating our needs. We were able to engage with our hosts over the weekend with the freedom to be independent as we required.

They have a wonderful set up of a vast family home of several bedrooms as well as a delightful wee cottage, which we used and was perfect for our anniversary weekend. We enjoyed a glass of wine with them outside in the evening warmth under the glass in the superb BBQ area surrounded by beautiful bush and birdsong.

Located 5 minutes drive out of Wanganui, the property is perfectly located to visit many attractions around the area which we were able to do.

We were not just getting a bed for two nights, we were given an experience. Little touches (hand picked flowers for our anniversary) and the generous continental breakfast with added treats to put on toast, made us feel welcomed and valued.

This place is worth the stay!
