I am not one for lengthy reviews however there are many things that I would like to comment on. This was a last minute booking for the Vintage weekend in Whanganui (? spelling) the Town was very busy with the majority of good Hotels and Bach's booked up, Fordell is a couple of miles out of town. But this was easily compensated with the Hotel’s location, appearance and the Hosts Stephen and Annette. An 1860’s ranch house which burnt down in 1997 ( I believe ) but rebuilt to the original construction with beautiful “Rimu” orange wooden floor, doors and cupboards.everything authentic, but with some modern extras. A sight to behold. The House with 3 rooms at the moment, is set in very well maintained beautiful grounds and gardens surrounded by Palm Trees and woodlands, almost picture postcard views facing the road. The house has history shouting out from every corner. We stayed two nights, which allowed visits to the weekend activities (vintage weekend is recommended) but also allowed time for a tour by the obviously proud owners S and A , both knowledgeable about their property and it’s history. 3 rooms at present one en-suite, offering a hearty welcome,

We liked everything about our stay at Allies Hill Top Haven. The room was comfortable and clean. Above all, what a wonderful host Allie was to us. We didn’t have to ask for anything, because we had everything we needed already provided for us. We highly recommend.

The old villa has a very special charm. I felt right at home. The kitchen was so well-equipped, which was wonderful. The shower was fantastic, and the bed was so comfortable! But what really made me special was our host, Debby. She's such a wonderful person. We had some deep conversations, and she even got up extra early one Sunday morning to drive me to the bus stop. Thank you for everything, Debby. I'll never forget my stay with you.

Where do i start.....Location: up a valley just off Durie hill, lovely quiet street, easy parking right outside. Really close to town. Access/Host: very easy access,straight in via well communicated lockbox process. Met our lovely host upon arrival and welcomed. Other than that we had complete privacy and peace, happy in the knowledge our host was just a call or text away. The Sanctuary: very spacious with everything we wanted and so much more: everything you would have in your own home (minus the junk🤣) 8 seat table, couches, games,books, sky tv on big flat-screen. 2 very comfy big beds, top quality linen and towels. Big modern bathroom, great shower pressure. HT rail. Big fridge, nespresso machine with pods, etc etc etc.... Marmite and vegemite even ! Definitely in my saved list for future visits.

Lovely hosts, who were very welcoming to their immaculate, warm and comfortable home. Set on a quiet cul-de-sac only 12/15 minutes walk away from town, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, including the continental breakfast with a choice of fruits, breads and jams.

Spacious room with amazing bathroom with double shower. Comfortable bed and breakfast was provided. Has easy access to Virginia Park although on this occasion we didn’t have time to explore. Lovely host who was very amenable. Easy drive into town.

In all the years I have traveled around NZ, it was the first place that felt like home. It had a family feel about it, and I absolutely loved staying there. Debbie is a great host 👌
