Very good location, 5 minutes drive from central but also away from the crowd. The view is amazing from the deck, and the house is very recently built. The house is warm and comfortable and the host is very friendly.

Mincong New Zealand

Amazing house, comfy beds & incredibly clean. Gorgeous spa & heated pool to use (sometimes the hosts are also using it) and lovely deck with nice outlook. Windy spot, but worth it for the stunning view.

Michelle New Zealand

Great communication from Sharon before I arrived. A very friendly welcome and awesome hospitality. Beautiful, clean facilities. Fantastic surroundings.

Penney New Zealand

Quiet, spacious, convenient, superbly fitted out accommodation with friendly hosts. There was a huge surprise in a large swimming pool and spa being made available to us to use any time. The views were lovely - lake, rolling countryside and sea views too!

Elisa New Zealand

Excellent host. Excellent view. The style was gorgeous. The shower was so good. Beautiful place. Thank you.

Toa New Zealand

The 'Little House on the Hill' is a beautifully appointed self-contained two bedroomed property. It has a large deck with lovely views over the surrounding countryside and the feel of a rural location albeit a short drive into the centre of Whanganui. Everything that you could possibly need for your stay is available plus a few little extras. Sharon the hostess, was very welcoming. It was a very enjoyable short stay and will be top of the list of places to stay every time I return to Whanganui.

Kevin New Zealand

Bonus bottle of wine and chocolate was unexpected and very welcome!! The facility was amazing, very clean, beautiful views and lovely welcoming hosts. We look forward to coming back

Jill New Zealand

Everything! Lovely comfortable beds, so warm, gorgeous deck, big towels, slow cooker, awesome view..and best of all a lovely friendly host.

Alyson New Zealand

A great little spot! And very welcomingly prepared for us - much appreciated thanks Sharon!

Andrew New Zealand

The property is of an extremely good standard and very comfortable. It is well equipped and the view from the deck area is outstanding. The owners live adjacent to the property and are happy to share their knowledge of the local area.

Our Little House on the Hill has fantastic views of a beautiful private lake, surrounding hills with horses, sheep and cows grazing and sea views. Completed in October 2018, this 2 double bedroom house is double glazed and fully insulated with gas central heating. We have very efficient ceiling fans ideal for warm weather. The property is completly self contained with a private entrance with a full kitchen including oven, gas cook top, fridge and washing machine. There is a 50 inch flat screen TV with free internet access. Bedroom 1 has a Queen bed. Bedroom 2 can have 2 single beds or one Kingsize bed depending on your requirements. There is a large walk in shower and a heated towel rail. The deck is very large and is a fantastic place to relax and enjoy the view. There is also a gas BBQ and outdoor furniture. There is secure private parking right outside the house. Please note there is a staircase leading to the property. We welcome children but our place is not baby/toddler proof so would advise that our little house is only suitable for children over 7.

Hi, Originally from the UK, my family and I moved to Wanganui in September 2016. The Little house on the hill is located behind our own property on a hill, so I am always around should you need me. We are looking forward to meeting and welcoming people from all over the world.

Our property is located in a very nice part of Wanganui, only one and a half minutes drive from Virginia Lake and four minutes drive into town. The high street is very pretty especially when the hanging baskets are in full bloom in summer. There is a good selection of bars and restaurants. Wanganui is famous for its river and there is loads to do on it. A lovely stroll or cycle along the river path or maybe if you are looking for something more thrilling, a jet boat ride to the Bridge to Nowhere. You can canoe, water ski etc. or take a lovely trip on the iconic Waimarie Paddle Steamer. There is also a fantastic art scene in Wanganui with many galleries to explore, plus you can watch glass blowing in action or maybe even try it yourself! We have great sporting facilities in Wanganui too, our property is only a 5 minute drive to the sporting stadium at Cooks Gardens, the local pool and the roller skating rink. It is about a 10 minute drive to Wanganui airport from our property.
