    Only 20 min walk to CBD. Hosts went out of their way to help. Breakfast was great, especially the fresh fruit salad. Facilities were great, as was the property itself. A lovely lawn and garden

    Lovely B&B close to city centre. Very clean and reminded us of an old English house upgraded with sitting room, lovely and cosy bedroom with well stocked bathroom for bath or shower. Breakfast was delicious with lots of choices.

    The location was a little out of town but still convenient. A 30 walk across the Wanganui River there are plenty of restaurants and cafes. The cottage is a restored 100 + year old and the surrounding land was originally farmland. Our hosts gave us...

    Great location, very friendly and welcoming hostess. A fabulous breakfast- plenty of fresh fruit, and Maryann provided gluten free cereal and bread as requested, and none dairy milk.

Nestled in half an acre of garden, Gumnut House will delight and charm you. You can sit ouside and watch the Tui and wood pigeon playing in the Gumnut tree. One minute walk will get you to the Riverbank which you can walk along to get to the main street in about 10 minutes. Guests love the fact that they get Bedroom,bathroom,and lounge/dining area to themselves,and never have to share amenities with anyone else.
Your hosts are Barry and Maryann. We are kiwis and love meeting new people. We like muscle cars,music,friends and getting together with our family. We are famous for our Hospitality,and like guests to relax and enjoy their time with us.
We are across the road from the iconic Kowhai park,and a short walk,,bike or run to town,along the picturesque riverbank. We are in a safe,friendly neighbourhood,and everything is close to get to.
