RayvenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Awesome place to stay, kudos to the host who made made our stay so lovely by frequently checking on us, this is one of the few air bnbs we have stayed out of our country where the host actually came down and gave us a surprise visit to check on us if everything was ok, always picks up our call and replies our message on air bnb on our queries. Sally, we loved your house, your toys and reading material for our kids, everything in your home was great and the trickling snow outside made it all the more memorable, your directions to your place was also spot on and easy to follow! I would recommend this host and her house to anyone at any given time without a single hesitation or doubt!

Lovely accomodation with everything you could need! Convenient location, comfortable beds and not too noisey at night considering you’re right in the centre of town. Master bedroom has a window without a curtain so you do wake up with the sun.. but I’m sure lots of people love that!

Station House

VioletteRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We had a great stay at the Station House apartment. The location was ideal to Victoria Ave, and so handy to have an allocated carpark available! The apartment itself was very chic, clean and comfortable. Brian and Tracy provided really clear comms for check-in instructions, finding the place, etc. It was a great spot and I would stay there again when in Whanganui next.

Ross was so lovely to us, we arrived late and he was ready to go when we got there and he was even able to suggest some yummy food places around the corner for dinner. The house was tidy and clean and felt super cosy like home. Ross was super kind and gave us an upgrade which we were super happy about! Overall, I would definitely recommend this Airbnb, easy access, beautiful scenery and a trustworthy host.
