A bed and breakfast bursting with Victorian character

A bed and breakfast located in the heart of Whanganui, and a 20-minute stroll to the banks of the Whanganui River. Built-in 1910, the Victorian home is bursting with character and is decorated with local artwork and antique furnishings. Your hosts, Peter and Jenny, look forward to welcoming you to their special place.

Peter and Jenny have teamed up with a local farm to help replant 50 hectares of farmland. This includes regenerating a wetland for birdlife. For every guest visiting, they plant a new tree to help offset their carbon footprint.

Whanganui is a region brimming with hiking trails, rivers, valleys, mountains, native forest and birds. The Whanganui River is the region's grand highlight, flowing from Mount Tongariro out to the Tasman Sea. Take a thrilling jet-boat ride up the Whanganui River and visit the iconic Bridge to Nowhere.
