Great location

Guests who stayed here in the past year loved the location.
Built in 1961, this architecturally designed house is light and bright and provides a very peaceful, private and relaxing setting. You’ll enjoy comfortable and stylish furnishings inkeeping with the era of the house. It has great views over the Whanganui surrounds and a lovely outlook towards the hills. On a clear day you can see Mt Taranaki.

The space
The house has polished wooden floors, a wood burner in the lounge and a heater in each bedroom. There is a lovely view from all north/north-west aspects. It is a very peaceful, quiet and relaxing place where you can truly unwind. There is a garage underneath the house suitable for a small car, with internal access to the house.

Guest access
The house operates on a self access system, but we’re not far away if you require assistance.

Other things to note
Some of the grounds around the house have a gentle slope. The property is not fully fenced.

Where you’ll be

Whanganui, Manawatu-Wanganui, New Zealand

The house is positioned at the top of the hill, under the iconic Bastia Hill Tower in a peaceful neighbourhood overlooking the city. The city centre is just a 2 minute drive away, where you’ll find some great eateries and cafes, especially on the main street and near the river front. Whanganui truly has something for everyone. If art is your thing there is the Sarjeant Gallery and numerous independent art galleries and studios showcasing the amazing local talent. If you love the outdoors you can take a river cruise on the Waimarie, or head out to Bushy Park and see rare native bird life. For the kids the family friendly Kowhai Park playground is always a hit, and it’s right at the bottom of our hill. The Whanganui Regional Museum always has something intriguing to learn about. For sports there are events at Cooks Gardens, the stock cars or you could hire a bike and ride along the Upokongaro to Tasman Sea cycle trail.

Lives in Whanganui, New Zealand
Kia ora, We’ve had fun travelling all around Aotearoa and the rest of the world, and are currently enjoying a quieter life in Whanganui with our two young children. We’re passionate about all things midcentury, including this beautiful house! It’s self check in but we’re just down the road if you need anything, and we’re more than happy to share our local knowledge. Safe travels and best wishes, Jess & Costas
