Bed and breakfast vacation rentals in Whanganui River

We had a wonderful few days stay with Alice and Calvyn, who were both incredibly helpful and welcoming. A great place and very centrally located. We would happily stay again if we are in Whanganui. Sharon and Don

Upon arrival we were greeted at the gate by Nanette daughter Auriela. She was so helpful what a great host. The home was clean, and the beds were comfortable. We met some wonderful people as we weren't the only guests in the house. Great breakfast with the other guest. At first, we thought this is going to be awkward. Nope, it was quite the opposite. We had a great time with the other guests. I will do it again Thank you

I loved staying at Nanette’s. The room is cosy sunny and bright. The bathrooms are spotless and are also very spacious. The shared spaces are great. Nanette and her girls are warm and inviting they really look after their guests in their home. I loved meeting other guests as well that came from all over the world . It was fun having a chat with all the new people. Taupo is beautiful of course with the lakes and spa park is very special. The cost of the room with breakfast is very economical you even get Nanette’s wonderful homemade baking. I would definitely highly recommend.

Barb and Mike are amazing hosts and we had a lovely and comfortable stay at Tongariro Adventures. The national park is only a short drive away. The waterfront is a few steps away and there are amazing trails around the area. Barb and Mike’s place exceeded our expectations and their hospitality made us feel very welcome. Also, top marks for the amazing breakfast!!

I normally leave 5 stars because everything is fine or as expected, but I would leave this place 6 stars if I could. It’s far and away the best AirBnB I have stayed at. The place itself is very tranquil, homey and a great spot to unwind, yet also only 5 minutes into town for restaurants. Melana was such a great host from offering a welcome drink and snack, to giving local restaurant suggestions, to providing a choice of hot breakfast in the morning. I only stayed one night, but would definitely seek her place out again the next time I’m back in the area.

Absolutely lovely B&B after the Timber Trail. Many of the timber trail guides up in Ongarue seem to live in the area and are therefore happy to give a ride. The room was clean, comfortable, and nice artifacts and decor around the house, which feels like a French manor. (Also 3 friendly cats and a dog, and breakfast waiting for us downstairs in the morning.)

Beautiful getaway experience! Amazing views, green grass, yummy breakfast and loved the private spa! The only thing the chalets need are privacy screens between each other to ensure extra privacy as you can see directly into another’s chalet/porch area

Thanks so much to the Kings ppl, we had a great stay. There’s a drying room for gear, a lovely restaurant and they did a breakfast bagel to take away which filled me & kids up to dinner! A great place.

I had a wonderful stay at Joanne’s who was friendly, helpful and made me instantly feel at home. We had great conversations. My room was lovely and I had a great night’s sleep. The breakfast was delicious especially due to all the homemade options. Would highly recommend to anyone. I look forward to my next visit.

Very friendly an helpful hosts and a lovely rural setting in the country. Very friendly dogs Winston and Lexi (who loved her frisby throwing). Enjoyable stay.

Very nice accommodation in Acacia Bay just a few minutes from Taupo. Mary was a wonderful host and made us feel right at home. She made some really good suggestions of the things to do in the area. Breakfast was excellent. It was too bad we only had one day. I would definitely stay with Mary again and highly recommend her accommodation!

This was such a great stay! Comfortable, super clean and nice touches with the breakfast. Exactly what we needed before a big trail event. Thanks so much for your help, friendliness and flexibility Maria :)

Really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful people, beautiful place and would highly recommend, very friendly and felt right at home. Thank you for everything.

I stayed at the Gumnut B&B for just two nights on a road trip through Whanganui. The guest space is large enough to be an apartment because there is a lounge and dining room as well as a bedroom and dedicated bathroom. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and generous. I spent my first afternoon on the porch enjoying the cool breeze and pleasant weather with views of the garden. The neighborhood is quiet at night and felt safe. I walked into downtown to explore Whanganui. Maryann and Barry were friendly hosts and Maryann stopped to chat with me when she had time. I recommend staying at the Gumnut B&B and I would gladly stay again.

we had a very comfortable stay in Janice's lovely house. the room had a heat pump, electric blankets and lovely linen. we were welcomed with a look around the house and a drink by the fire just chatting. enjoyed the buzz and meal at the Station Hotel in Hunterville. great stop on the drive through to wellington.

I stayed here with a friend before completing the Tongariro Crossing and it was a wonderful experience. I would recommend to anyone; it was comfortable and clean and our every need was met. (Even making our sandwiches ready for the crossing the next day!). The breakfast was delicious and Mary was a friendly and helpful host. Can’t wait to stay again, thank you!

This was my first time staying at Karen's home, and I was struck by how clean, comfortable, and warm it felt. Whenever we had a small question, we could easily reach Karen by phone, and she was always there to support us. She clearly puts a lot of heart into running this homestay, bringing a sense of warmth to her guests. This was the first time I truly felt a sense of "home" while staying at a homestay. Thank you to Karen and her family.
