Birch Court - Harakeke

Very quiet and comfortable. Not far from the centre of the city.

Reversing out of the driveway. Best for smaller cars.

If you are after somewhere to stay that is, spotless, quiet, warm, inviting, feels like home and special this is the place for you. My daughter and I loved our stay! As for the hosts wow, the most kind genuine people you could meet. It's was such a privilege to be have stayed here and to have been welcomed so warmly and kindly. Thank you so much!

Everything was perfect.

A quiet location. Really appreciated the big fully equipped kitchen. Big TV. Everything lovely & clean.

Bed was a bit firm for our liking. Shower flow was low.

Realy nice appartment with everything you might want for the stay, very pleasant & comfortable. 10 mins by car from beautiful Victoria lake, 5 minutes walk from lovely riverside walk.

A chair in the little garden would have been a welcome addition to sit in the sun, & an extra blanket.

Great place to stay - clean and cosy. The washing machine and full kitchen set up was perfect for us. Owners were also super lovely.

Nothing

The unit had everything we needed...full kitchen, washing machine, bathroom toiletries, comfortable beds.

Absolutely everything ❤️❤️ Steph and Murray should be proud of what they have achieved. Would recommend staying there highly.

Everything

Very clean; nice & quiet; modern kitchen and bathroom; well-equipped kitchen; also had a washing machine. Warm and welcoming hosts. Good bed linen and soft towels. Would stay again.

All good.

This is a very comfortable little home. The hosts were awesome and very helpful, the location was convenient, and we had a wonderful time. The home is in a quiet residential neighborhood within walking distance to a coffee shop and small grocery store.

Very comfy well equipped unit exceeded our expectations.

Great unit felt more like a house. Almost new kitchen - so much better than a motel. Vehicle access a bit squeezy, but otherwise very happy

Quiet clean little hide away.

The location, easy to find and access instructions very clear. We could park outside the front of the property and it was all on the flat, a bonus for cases etc.The unit had everything you could need, including kitchen equipment, laundry and drying area/airer, two sofas, TV, wifi, clean quality bed linen, and plenty of storage. The hosts accommodated a late change to our travel plans and greeted us upon arrival. The gardens were nicely kept and the area is quiet.

Nothing really and would only recommend providing a couple of outside chairs so guests can enjoy the garden on a nice evening.

I was pleasantly supprized with this little gem. Very clean and tidy unit, friendly hosts and very comfotable beds in a nice quite location.

There was nothing not to like.

This is by far the best place I have stayed in Whanganui. The unit is immaculate, the bed is comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need. The grounds are also lovely, quiet and serene. To top it off you also have the nicest hosts you could hope for. Murray and Steph are friendly, respectful and kind. I strongly suggest that if Harakeke is available you book it immediately and don't risk letting this gem get away.

Very tidy, new well equipped kitchen, very comfortable beds

There was no bedside table nor light in one of the bedrooms, we improvised with ´steps’ from kitchen ;-)

Beautiful location and has all that you need. From parking, kitchen, TV and bonus a washing machine!

Water pressure but still worked

Location was fantastic

The hosts were super friendly & the flat was very tidy, clean & well equipped. Location was perfect for my event.

Spacious, full size kitchen. No road noise., clean and comfortable.

Neighbour in next unit, a permanent resident. . We were warned he was hard of hearing and liked his racing. Friday we turned on TV to drown out the races on his TV But on Saturday when he had windows and doors open the noise was so loud we could hear every word of the race call. We had to leave the unit it was so intrusive, and giving me a headache. But at night there was no noise. Needs to use headphones, or keep windows and door closed when there are guests next door.

Felt safe & secure. Nice quiet location & beds really comfy.

An excellent place to stay. We were on a road-trip around New Zealand and stayed at more than 20 properties, Birch Court was joint 1st place: Friendly, helpful, communicative host. Extremely clean, +shoe rack, +luggage racks, +washable sofa covers. Quiet area. Comfy beds. Warm rooms. Very well maintained, e.g. paintwork immaculate. Well equipped. Good cooking facilities. Off-street, covered, parking. Secluded outdoors rotary clothes-line for drying clothes. The hosts, Steph and Murray, freshly baked us cheese scones, which were delicious.

We should have stayed longer.

The location was very good for my workers as the job was not far away for them. It was easy to find.

There wasn't a breakfast for my guys

Location. River walks.

Lots of noise from neighbors. Summer nights proved a bit annoying with TV and radio too loud. Lots of dogs in the surrounding areas constantly barking.

The house is refurbished and sqeaky clean. The kitchen appliances are literally new and top notch. A very comfortable home and Stephanie was a super friendly host. Absolutely recommended.

The home was cosy and clean. Came with ALL the essentials needed like shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. Also had washing powder, glad wrap, baking paper and tin foil. Also had great neighbours.

The shower pressure wasnt very strong but ok.

Clean, tidy, Netflix

Parking. Small car is ok, but no space for big car unless parking on the street. Narrow driveway😢.

Clean and tidy really great facilities love the place

N/A

Absolutely loved everything about where we stayed. Hosts were incredibly friendly and let us know we could call on them if need be. Great location, close to a nice river walk which my daughter in-law and myself tried on the Thursday night, close to town as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Whanganui. 😀

Nothing I didn’t like

Murray and Steph are lovely welcoming hosts. The accommodation is immaculate and very clean and the bed is very comfortable.

It would have been nice to know permanent tenants live in the accommodation owned by the hosts which is next door to the holiday let

Very handy to the city. Homely, and really good facilities. Great that it had a car park and 2 bedrooms. Great value.

Nothing

The unit is immaculate and in a quiet location. An absolute gem of a find. Comfortable beds, full kitchen and great water pressure in the. Shower. Has a washing machine and clothes line. Highly recommend

Loved everything

Birch Court Unit 2 was a well appointed self contained unit with everything you could possibly need for a long stay. Exceptionally clean and situationed in a quiet location. Murray and Stephanie were amazing hosts and a lovely couple who were there if you needed anything. I really enjoyed my stay there and would recommend Birch Court as the place to stay when on holiday. 10/10

There was nothing I didn't like😊

Nice little home, plenty of space, Had everything we needed. Laundry, clothing line, oven.

The unit was very well laid out very clean with every thing we needed to made our stay enjoyable

the kitchen cups were very high and no step ladder to use but one was supplied when we asked for it ....

The cleanliness and the fact that the property had everything you needed.

Can’t fault

Very clean and spacious with parking available. A quiet unit. About a 20-25 minute walk into the town center but a pleasant one. We had originally planned to arrive late and the host was happy to meet us then. The unit is suited for a long or short term stay. We appreciated the washing machine, for example, not usually found in a regular motel.

It would have helped if such items as washing powder and the availability of hot water for the machine were available as well as an iron. As I said, it's a well organised unit but these extras would have been great.

It was very roomy and private easy access to town and the hosts were very nice and welcoming

The property was impeccably clean and had all the amenities to ensure a comfortable stay. We were warmly welcomed by Steph and Murray on arrival and absolutely loved our stay at the property, we will definitely be back!

Total package

Nothing to not like

We had a wedding not to far away. A very nice and quiet location not far from town.

Very clean, good location, handy to shops

Wifi difficult to get connected. On arrival didn’t know where to find anyone, had to go around the back to find the person who was staying in one of the units.

Spacious, spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable beds, good TV, great value for money, efficient and quiet aircon, welcoming host

Weak shower

Everything we needed! Lovely place will definitely stay there again 😊

N/A

Our lovely hosts Murray and Stephanie were exceptional. We had a little hiccup with our booking - from our side. Both hosts help resolve our issue quickly. The apartment was clean, spacious and homely in a quiet street only a couple of minutes drive from the town centre. We would definitely book here again.

No we really could not find any faults with this property or with our hosts

. Beautiful & clean & had everything we needed. Staff were wonderful & I would stay there again. Close to the river & good for walking. Close to town. Thanks.

Nothing.

Whanganui Birch Court - Harakeke was the perfect stop and provided a warm welcome. The hosts were gracious and the accommodations were comfortable and inviting. It was an ideal place to relax and unwind during our trip.

Car port was small however we understand the size is appropriate for the apartment we rented.

This is one of the best places I’ve ever stayed everything is brand new and very very clean

There was nothing to not like

Our host was extremely friendly and chatty. The apartment was lovely, modern and clean. Very comfortable.

Nothing.

Location was great especially for walking up the river. Easy to find . See

Everything was perfect.

The bed was amazingly comfortable. Sheets crisp and good quality. Host v responsive. Place is quite new and v clean. Wi-Fi was not working when we got there but was quickly fixed and was strong.

Could have a few more kitchen supplies like salt and pepper, oil etc. there was only milk and a bit of tea, instant coffee and milo. Water pressure was not great. Glad to have parking but was tricky to get in and out. Was glad to not try at night. No dishwasher.

Everything was lovely. Highly recommend

Location, facilities, clean and comfortable

Nothing

Spacious, very comfortable bed and seating, good location for us. Good kitchen. Well kept.

Modern kitchen and bath, clean, cozy and comfortable beds. Everything you need for your family!

If I have to be picky, it’s very tight parking space for our van.

Everything! The house was super, super clean. Everything was comfortable. The hosts and the neighbour were very helpful and friendly. We loved it very, very much!

Nothing.

Host was very welcoming. Home away from home. A very comfortable bed.

The apartment is spacious, immaculately clean, well equipped and comfortably furnished. It's a little bit out of the city centre, but very peaceful.

I thought the apartment was great. Nothing to comment on here.

Great stay, place was super clean and super comfy bed. Murray and Steph were friendly and helpful. Wish we could have stayed another night!
