Built in the mid-1880s and renovated in the Edwardian style around 1914, this historic homestead offers a warm welcome, comfortable beds and spacious rooms.

The bedrooms have tea/coffee facilities, hairdryers and electric blankets, toiletries and fresh flowers. The house is centrally heated and the rimu-panelled lounge is cosy in winter with the woodburner fire - just the place to relax with a complimentary wine and a book from the extensive library.

During the warmer months, swim in the pool (built in the 1950s but recently refurbished), take forty winks on the wide verandah or under one of the old established trees or sit in the peaceful gardens and watch the historic Waimarie paddlesteamer cruise the Whanganui River

The homestead has a fully-equipped guest kitchen as well as a barbecue on the verandah, giving you the choice of self-catering for lunch and dinner. The tariff includes the use of all facilities including broadband/wireless internet.

Wanganui's restaurants are just 4km away.
