Really friendly host, clearly proud of the beautiful building and the work they’ve done there. We felt welcomed but also left alone to do our own thing.
The rooms were very clean and well furnished. The fridge was stocked with the essentials plus some beer and snacks! Really nice touches.
We slept very well. No shower but the roll top bath was a nice luxury .
We are our breakfast in our own private veranda terrace overlooking the river.
As for the town it is so eclectic. Great for artistic and creative people and has a youthful feel to it. While still feeling very safe. For food and drink we recommend Article for a coffee, real cool vibe with a thrift store attached. We also loved Porridge Watson for some tapas style food and drinks.
Also we loved the shops and galleries. Rick Rudds Quartz museum. Amazing. And Katie Brown & co was a lovely gallery with such great owners. Whanganui was a rare find. Definitely worth being on anyone’s tourist trail.
Thanks Scott and Trudy
