The Signal Box, hotel in Whanganui

Set beside the Whanganui River, The Signal Box provides river views and peaceful surroundings. The room features a kitchenette, seating area, dining area, and a private bathroom.

Second time we have stayed here, expectations well met both times. Rural, secluded facility with all you need for a break. Clean and tidy with comfortable bed and brilliant heating (hot water radiators). Eclectic collection of NZ books to read are an added bonus. WiFi was excellent. Contactless (our request, because of medical issues on our part) worked well for us, the hosts are on site but unobtrusive.

The perfect getaway for two in a large suite, hotel in Whanganui

Offering a garden, The perfect getaway for two in a large suite offers accommodations in Whanganui. This property offers access to a patio, free private parking, and free Wifi.

The accommodation was very comfortable, spacious, and has an excellent bathroom and good aircon. The breakfast met our needs. Our host referenced the gate in the fence that led to Lake Virginia Park. We walked in the Park. It was delightful. We would be happy to stay there again.

    Lovely hosts, who were very welcoming to their immaculate, warm and comfortable home. Set on a quiet cul-de-sac only 12/15 minutes walk away from town, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, including the continental breakfast with a choice of fruits, breads and jams.

    Excellent food and an excellent range of beers on tap. The rooms were comfortable & warm. The hotel was very busy at dinner time, that proves that this hotel is very popular with locals. Highly recommended, and I would stay there again.
