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. Simply fantastic. This is a really well appointed self contained small apartment in a very quiet part of town. Parking is outside the property on the street but very convenient and safe. The villa has all facilities for cooking and we eat in the villa all 3 nights. With an excellent washer and dryer we wee able to wash clothes and dry outside on a drying rack - ample pegs provided. There is a small, elegant garden with a sitting area to enjoy the evening sunshine. All was very comfortable. Supermarkets were close. It was a 1.5 to 2 km walk into town, which we did not do. An excellent stay
