    Graeme & Clare were incredible hosts. I booked very last minute but they made me so welcome. Their home is immaculately presented, my room was beautiful and very comfortable bed. I was treated like part of the family. Thank you both for having me...

    We were able to share many good stories and views with Clare and Graeme. A real bonus, and would be very happy to repeat the experience!

Our conservatory is the room in our house that people gravitate to as it is a real sun trap. The bifold doors open up up two walls of the room bringing the 'outside in'.
Graeme and I decided to start travelling 40 years ago. This we have done to numerous countries utilising hotels, bnbs, home exchanges, House sitting and air bnbs. It is such a pleasure to share experiences with our guests, the good and the bad. It is like revisiting our travels all over again. We thoroughly enjoy hearing of our guests' experiences and future travel plans, helping if needed. We both enjoy gardening, Bridge and e-biking.
We are a few blocks to the CBD and supermarkets guests - some guests choose to walk there. Most of the local attractions are found in town, eg restaurants, museum, art galleries, local market, i-SITE, river cruise. We live in a cul de sac so, there are not many cars in the street. Our street is opposite the Racecourse and the Whanganui Function Centre. The hospital is 5 minutes drive.
