Set in Whanganui in the Manawatu region, The Signal Box has a balcony and river views. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The property offers barbecue facilities and outdoor furniture.

The kitchen has a microwave, a toaster and a fridge and there is a private bathroom with a hair dryer and free toiletries. This guest house is allergy-free and non-smoking. The Signal Box is perfectly formed- well considered in every way. The setting is amazing, a rural scene overlooking the beautiful Whanganui River. Chickens and ducks, and a wide range of fruit trees lie between the Signal Box and the River. The large trees are home to native birds. There's always something to watch or contemplate on. It is so peaceful. The Signal Box is set up for two people so don't bring the family . You need to be able to climb a flight of stairs to get there but once inside the 180 degree outlook is a wondrous thing. And all of this just 8 minutes drive to town! It would be a great place to have some alone time.

This air-conditioned guest house comes with a fully equipped kitchenette, a seating area, a dining area and a satellite flat-screen TV. A private entrance leads guests into the guest house, where they can enjoy some wine or champagne and chocolates or cookies. The property has an outdoor dining area. Friendly and responsive host and nice wee location a stones throw away from Welly. The place was fully equipped everything for the weekend, paper towels, gladwrap, olive oil. The only thing we needed was food. The milk, a few snacks and sparkling wine was a lovely added bonus. Very happy with the R&R in Waikawa.
