About this property

City Haven, peaceful bnb homestay, close to the city

Come for a quality stay in an immaculate, modern home with friendly hosts. Enjoy home made baking and jams, as well as continental breakfasts. We are a few blocks to the CBD and supermarkets - some guests choose to walk there. Most of the local attractions are found there: restaurants, museum, art galleries, local market, i-SITE, river cruise, cycleway and Cooks Gardens and Velodrome.

City Haven provides private accommodation (we live there) with indoor and outdoor seating areas. The homestay has a shared kitchen, free WiFi and free private parking. There is a queen room and a twin room available. Both rooms share a bathroom. There is a laundry, full kitchen and exercycle if you are energetic.

We live in a quiet cul de sac. There are not many cars in the street - which means easy parking if you have more than one car in your group. The beginning of our street is opposite the Racecourse and the Whanganui Function Centre. The hospital and main shopping street is 5 minutes drive.

Our conservatory is the room in our house that people gravitate to as it is a real sun trap. The bifold doors open up two walls of the room bringing the 'outside in'.

The Whanganui airport is 5 km from the accommodation, and we offer a paid airport shuttle service.

Graeme and I decided to start travelling 40 years ago. This we have done to numerous countries utilising hotels, home exchanges, house sitting and air bnbs. It is such a pleasure to share experiences with our guests; the good and the bad. It is like revisiting our travels all over again. We thoroughly enjoy hearing of our guests' experiences and future travel plans, helping if needed. Besides travelling, we both enjoy gardening, Bridge and e-biking.

We look forward to meeting you.

A nice and clean house, close to the city, quiet and safe street. Two large bedrooms and sharing kitchen and lounge with a friendly retired couple (the owners Clare and Graeme). Yummy homemade preserved fruit and cereal for breakfast. Lovely place to stay
