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. When you pull into the drive of the Signal Box, you'll see a house under renovation to your left. Pay no attention to that, but look straight ahead; the unit above the garages is the large, lovely room you'll have all to yourself. Enormous windows look over the bucolic property, which gently slopes down to the Whanganui River. It's really like a mini paradise and owner Renee couldn't be nicer or more helpful. Highly recommended!

A recently renovated guest house located in Feilding, Park View 'Home Away From Home' features a garden. The air-conditioned accommodation is 21 km from Palmerston North Convention Centre. There is a barbecue and guests can make use of free WiFi, free private parking and an electric vehicle charging station. We liked everything! Nice ground level apartment with plenty of room, comfortable bed and very clean. Carol was a great host and made sure we felt at home. Breakfast was continental with 3 different types of cereal and other amenities. We would detour out of our way to stay here again! Even got a spot in the garage for my rental car...can't beat that! Great value for the price.

Featuring inner courtyard views, Central Garden Villa offers accommodation with a garden and a patio, around 48 km from RNZAF Base Ohakea. This guest house features a terrace. Outdoor seating is also available at the guest house. Extremely well equipped. So many little things had been thought of e.g emergency sanitary products, shaving gel, beach towels etc Nice big comfy bed and TV to watch after a long day exploring. Nice and quiet and can walk in to town quite quickly but the river is a little further. Lovely outdoor area for own use. Property was very clean.
