The Signal Box

Whanganui

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. 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!

This air-conditioned guest house comes with a fully equipped kitchenette, a seating area, a dining area and a 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. Absolutely enjoyed our 2 night stay at Waikawa Beach Pod. The Pod is beautifully set up with all the amenities you require. We were generously welcomed with home baking and a bottle of wine. Set in tranquil country surroundings you can enjoy the indoor/outdoor flow and the beach close by. The beach is excellent. Richard and Christine our hosts are a lovely, welcoming couple. Loki their dog was also adorable. If you are looking for a space to unwind, relax, to breathe in the peacefulness we fully recommend the Pod. This gem is not for party-goers. It is a place of serenity. We look forward to staying again in the future. Thank you Richard and Christine for making our stay a joyful occasion. Pauliney & Trevor Lynn
