Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Very nice boutique stay, unit well appointed and very comfortable. Lack of a TV ws a little odd. No service to room for three days was less than expected.
Loved the rural private quaint setting of this accomodation. Overlooking the river and beautiful outlook everything we needed and more to escape the city for the weekend.

Great location on the river and very peaceful surroundings but close to town. Loved staying in a building with history.
Fabulous property. Very tranquil setting. Hosts great, and informative if interesting things to do and go and see locally. Would return in a heartbeat.
This place was beautiful. It was spotlessly clean, close to town and very comfortable. The room was also very tasteful and pretty. The bed was comfortable. Highly recommend.
Great break away. Peaceful and Quiet. Perfect for a couple to go somewhere out of the hustle and bustle of life. Out of town, yet close enough to go for dinner.
I had a lovely stay at the signal box. The bed was comfy, the bathroom was gorgeous and the shower nice and powerful. There were fresh flowers in the room and a bowl of fruit from the orchard. And of course, the amazing view!
Peaceful, private, great outlook and very comfy bed.

Signal Box is barely beyond the 100km speed sign on the West side of the Whanganui River, north of Whanganui itself....only 10/15 minutes from the city centre, it is is tranquilness personified, native birds abound, modern fitout of an historic railway signal box to make for a superb hideaway.....(NB. one thing: it only has microwave for cooking..but with the city itself - who cares), great shpwer btw, and plunger coffee was a bonus ...many thanks Renee and Aaron
