The value for money at this place was absolutely worth it! The room was clean, comfortable, and had a lovely homely feel to it. The location was great, with a beautiful setting on the hill and plenty of nature around. The staff were friendly and welcoming, going out of their way to make sure we had a fantastic stay.

The hotel breakfast menu could have been improved with a larger pot for cooking. As a family of five, we found that the smaller pots were not sufficient to prepare meals for everyone.

I keep coming back for the amazing staff who helped me find my way, and for the perfect amenities like Wi-Fi, parking, air conditioning, and board games. It's my go-to for city trips. Couldn't ask for more!

Clean property with everything needed and more. Peaceful location with birdsong. Outstanding breakfast selection. Kids enjoyed games and books. Will definitely return.

Durie Vale Retreat was an amazing value for the price! The room was clean and comfortable, and the location was so peaceful and relaxing. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making our stay even better.

The hotel breakfast could have been improved with a larger pot for cooking. While it wasn't a big hassle for most people, as a family with teenage boys who eat a lot, it would have been convenient to have a larger pot available in the kitchen.

Had a great time at the retreat! Free bikes to explore, yummy breakfast, and even air conditioning. Loved the garden and barbecue too!

Oh, and let's not forget the joy of carrying everything up a steep drive in the rain. Fun times!

Beautifully appointed house in a peaceful setting with amazing decor. Generous continental breakfast. Outdoor areas to relax and listen to the birds. Great views. Very private and spacious with activities for kids. Dog-friendly with secure section. Helpful and friendly hosts.

Felt extremely welcome, no complaints at all.

exceeded expectations during our long weekend stay in Whanganui. Immaculate house with all the amenities we needed, including a green theme. Friendly and accommodating owners who provided a delicious breakfast and helpful recommendations. Couldn't have asked for more!

Something missing in the kitchen.
