Donna and Bill were very welcoming and gave us some excellent tips for places to dine in Wanganui. We ended up in Element, which was perfect - offering a day cafe menu as well as an evening meal.
Our room was beautiful, large with lovely deck in peaceful surroundings. I enjoyed just sitting on the deck reading, from the variety of wonderful books in the room. The adjoined private bathroom, was great with a very powerful shower.
Donna and Bill were lovely to talk with, and we loved hearing about their travels in Europe. Elizabeth was very taken with Toby, the cat who was very affectionate.
Wanganui is a lovely town to visit, with plenty of things to see and do, and some fab Art Deco architecture in the town centre.
It was a shame we were only there for 1 night, as it is the perfect place to relax. 100% recommendation.
