Forget your worries in this spacious and serene space.Guests have their own cozy, clean and quiet space with a large queen size bedroom, separate lounge, and private bathroom. Everything you need for a great stay. Guests will have their own private entrance / patio and seating area which provides a view over the garden and orchard and with easy access to Kowhai Park. Our home was built in the 1920’s and the character has been well maintained throughout the house. The in-house suite has several steps up to the patio and private entrance (easier access can be arranged through the main house, if required). Guests can have as much privacy as they like during their stay as we reside in a separate part of the house. Guests may get a warm greeting from our dog, Woodsy, but do let us know in advance if you would prefer this did not happen and we can be mindful of her whereabouts. While there is not a full kitchen within the suite, guests do have access to their own kettle, toaster, and mini fridge. We have a heat pump hot water system. The home does not have a TV. We can arrange for a ‘movie night’ in the lounge with our projector upon request. A barbecue is also available on request. The private bathroom has a shower over a claw-foot bath which does require stepping into the bath (in case of mobility issues). Guests are invited to relax and wander in our organic permaculture garden and orchard. We are visited by Tui, Piwakawaka (Fantail), Tauhou (Silvereye), Kereru ( native wood pigeon), and often have Manu-kai-hua-rakau (Song Thrush) nesting around the house. In the evenings you can often hear the ruru (morepok owl) nearby. Our property is located opposite Kowhai Park and the room, lounge and patio overlook our gardens, fruit trees and the Kowhai Park Arboretum. The Whanganui River is a 2-minute walk away. Please note that as the room faces Anzac Parade you can hear some traffic noise from the room. Free tea and coffee and unlimited broadband.

Kia Ora! We’re cited to welcome you to our home. Stacy is a Canadian currently living in & exploring New Zealand with Jared (Kiwi) and our beloved pup, Woodsy Beans. We both live lightly (zero waste), grow organic in our permaculture gardens and love exploring new places - the sights, sounds, and tastes and meeting new folks along the way!

Located opposite Kowhai Park and 2 minutes from the River and a 10-15 minute walk to town. Our home is quite tucked away, and is nestled down a hidden walkway.
