The location was great, the pool was great and the environment was beautiful. The cottage was okay but the fan wasn't cooled enough even when put on high. The shelf was dusty and there were ants on the floor.

Small, but functional for a quick stay.

Teeny tiny but functional for a quick stay, more just a base to come and go from, rather than a place to hang out. Some net curtains to allow some privacy, but allowing light in might make it a little more private as its right by the driveway. Citadel over the road had lovely meals. Close to all the places we needed to go in Whanganui over the weekend.
