If you ever get a chance to stay at Rachael’s and Mark‘s place, do it. I came a second time from Germany and will return for a third one. For the private waterfall, the quirky and heartwarming handmade details all around the grounds, the nightsky, feeding trouts, hearing blue ducks, or the room with costumes, but most importantly for feeling this unique spot between nature and garden. It is so peaceful and quiet it is absolutely mind-boggling.

The accomodation was basic, but had everthing we needed and was spotlessly clean and tidy. We especially loved the owner/manager, Linda, who was fantastic, so very accomodating when we needed to extend our stay, and full of beautiful wisdom that both my wife and I were so very grateful for. Thanks Linda, we'll definitely stay here again.

The hotel is warm, welcoming and comfortable, cosy even. Informal with an old fashioned feel, more like a guest house. The location is very quiet and there's no dining in so if you need a meal, eat before you come. I stay in many hotels around the world, few I would bother to return to. This one I did.

    The park was very close to Tongariro National Park, which made things very convenient for our hiking plans. The communal kitchen was clean and had nice equipment, the dishes they provided made cooking meals easy, and they provided the room with a minifridge that helped as well. It was perfect for campers and hikers who are hoping to have a comfy bed after tent camping or hiking a lot!

    The Whanganui Museum and the Sergeant Gallery are both worthy of extended visits, they are a highlight for any visitor to the area. The small arts and crafts galleries are interesting and innovative; some very fine and quirky cafes enrich the experience - for any visitor, Whanganui is now one of the most satisfying cultural locations in NZ.

    Unfortunately the unit we stayed in was infested with ants which were in the bathroom, kitchen and bedroom. We awoke to find them in our beds and crawling all over us. Most unpleasant experience. I advised the manager but he didn't really apologise and I believe he was aware of the situation. His response was that he would need to get a pest controller in. I felt he didn't believe us, but we showed the cleaners and they were shockewd.

    My baby and I stayed for 2 nights and enjoyed everything about Waiouru. We were at the Oasis motel which is across the road from the Z gas station and next to a Diner,bakery, bar & bottle store which breaks off from the motel but still far away from the rooms. A bit secluded but love how everything’s so close and the nice cold weather.

    The empty Chateau is a shame but we hope that will be sorted soon. The neglected buildings in the village on both sides of Bruce Road is not a good look. Hopefully they will be restored and have tenants soon. We understand Covid and the uncertainly around the sale of the ski field had a big influence but we hope that it would be fixed soon
