The attention to detail of design and the careful way they had crates a beautiful accommodation inside a heritage building was outstanding

Loved the Views, Comfort, climate control inside the room, comfortable bed, quiet and private. We loved the place and kept on saying we'd choose this as our Half way batch between New Plymouth and Masterton. We will use this accommodation in future again.

Irene

Impressed at how luxurious a small space could be. Loved the rural atmosphere, the river and bird life.

The Signal Box far exceeded our expectations. The whole place has been freshly renovated and has lovely modern touches (i.e. electronically controlled radiator heating, variable lighting, automatic/timed bathroom fans). The kitchenette is complete with beautiful crockery and appliances. The view from the room is beautiful and faces towards the river (away from the main house) so there is no issue with privacy. The deck is great for a morning cuppa, or a place to read. We loved the huge king bed and appreciated how clean the entire place was. The space is designed beautifully and we would love to return. The hosts were lovely and respected our privacy, while being a text away if necessary - perfect for a couple seeking a getaway from the big city. Thanks so much for sharing your space with us!

Definitely the best place I’ve stayed in Whanganui! I’m definitely not going to stay anywhere else. I can’t recommend this place enough. You must stay here!

This was a unique and very special little place. Beautifully presented with amazing views, quaint, cute and tastefully decorated. Super comfy bed. The big windows with the view to the river was very special. Set in an orchard and on second story, the outlook is rural and lovely. Highly recommended and we will definitely be back. Owners lovely to deal with.

We liked this because of its location. The history of the building was a draw card. The view of the river was lovely.
