Orange Tree Cottage - garden hideaway

Small property with great design features set in a beautiful garden. High quality bed, linen, crockery and fittings. Excellent location to access CBD, but quiet at night. Julie welcoming and helpful.

Nothing

Good location, peaceful ambiance; proprietor was helpful with suggestions for restaurants and getting around town.

Our only tiny issue was that the room had a strong scent of incense or scented candle, which my husband is sensitive to. Otherwise, everything was lovely.

Peaceful and secluded

Sehr ruhige Lage in einer Wohnstraße, trotzdem ist man schnell im Zentrum. Julie war eine fabelhafte Gastgeberin. Das Cottage ist gemütlich eingerichtet, sauber und komfortabel. Und das Frühstück im Kühlschrank ließ keine Wünsche offen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können das Häuschen im Grünen wärmstens weiterempfehlen!

In a lovely garden. Comfortable, good facilities. Friendly host. Good size towels.

Distance for carrying luggage from car to accommodation.

Breakfast was a good selection of muesli etc. Quiet space.⁸

Very charming and comfortable place to stay. The bed was really comfortable. Host was super helpful and on top of everything with handy information prepared for the entire area. We also had healthy breakfast goodies available for us to grab a quick bite before checkout. Loved our quick stay here!

Not the hosts fault at all, but the neighbors were playing loud music and partying it up on a Sunday night until past 1am.

Beautiful grounds comfortable, clean, space

Loved it all

Positivt overrasket over haven med tepotter alle vegne. Appelsin og grapefrugt træer i haven. Den lille udendørs terrasse var også fin ( selvom det regnede hver gang vi satte os ud) Fin morgenmad og god beliggenhed i forhold til hvad vi ville se.

Sengen var lidt for blød for os begge. Øm i kroppen efter en nat.

This was a very lucky find on our part - a really great place to stay at- Very comfortable and clean. All equipment and fittings - absolutely top of the line. Just comfortable luxury in a beautiful garden setting.

Great location for cyclists… near city and river loop. Healthy breakfast with range of cereals and fruit. Loved the garden, hosts have done an amazing job with it and creating privacy screening for the studio. Inside the studio is extremely well presented and excellent attention to detail. Helpful, friendly accommodating hosts 🤩 We loved our stay.

Stayed here for a weekend with my partner. Even in midwinter it was cozy and warm. The owner Julie was lovely and accommodating and communicated well with everything we needed to know. The cottage was clean and comfortable. I loved the decor in there - it was clear a lot of care had gone into making it a nice place to stay. Included breakfast was fantastic (thanks for the toast!) and we even got to see the two beautiful dogs who live in the main house. Location was great - just a nice walk through Kowhai Park and across the river to get to the city, but tucked away on a residential street for peace and quiet. I would definitely stay here again.

I can't think of anything I didn't like :)

From arrival to departure this place exceeded our expectations. I wish we could have stayed longer. It was so peaceful and the garden tranquil

The studio, garden and location were exceptional. Clean, modern and charming. Julie, our host, was warm, friendly and helpful.

That we missed meeting the dogs!

Love love love Julie's air bnb and have returned many times now. I love the beautiful gardens all around the flat and all inside is of the highest quality. No bed is more comfortable and the pristine bathroom has a large, modern shower and divine smelling sheets. Julie is so warm, welcoming and accommodating. I will be back for sure.

Everything exceeds expectations.

Julie is definitely the hostess with the mostess! Right from booking, contact prior and while there, Julie was so helpful - including ensuring there was Gluten Free cereal! The Studio was very comfortable - from the bed to the layout. Our little 'courtyard' was pretty secluded, thanks to the vine-like 'fence' - it made sitting outside a real pleasure and private. It was awesome to come back to our Studio each time, and automatically feel relaxed 😀 The whole place is so peaceful😍For us it was the perfect retreat/holiday. We will be back😀

Waking up in the morning and looking out at the fabulous view outside.

B&B bevindt zich in de prachtige tuin. Dit comfortabele tuinhuis was van alle gemakken voorzien. Zeer gastvrije gastvrouw. Ontbijt is eenvoudig maar toereikend. Het historische centrum van Whanganui is zeer de moeite waard evenals het park dat aan de rivier ligt.

Incredibly tidy, clean, well set out and had everything we needed. The owner provided breakfast, yummies, milk and fruit juice. Bed was comfortable and the atmosphere was amazing.

Het is een gezellige locatie met veel privacy. Aan heel veel details is gedacht. De stoelen binnen en buiten zijn erg prettig. Het bed ligt heerlijk en het ruikt lekker. Wij waren er in december en er stond zelfs een kleine kerstboom met lichtjes! Het ligt dichtbij de rivier en een prachtig park. Op loopafstand van het centrum.

Klein minpuntje is dat je overdag wel de auto's op de weg hoort rijden. In de nacht geen last van gehad.

Gezellige ontvangst, top gastvrouw

Niets

Rustige wijk. Erg schoon en het rook erg lekker binnen. Julie is een erg lieve, gastvrije host. We vonden het bed erg fijn en een zeer goede douche. We bleven maar 1 nachtje op doorreis, hadden graag wat langer willen blijven.

ik miste alleen een strijkijzer ;)

Everything was perfect and very comfortable.

Breakfast was available and was sufficient for our needs. Good variety. You need a car to stay here as the Town is about 2km away. Very quiet in a great backyard setting. Worth staying at. Julie was a very good host

Very comfortable and nice private garden setting

If you’re sensitive to fragrances this may not be the place for you. I removed the two lots of sticks in jars but still felt slightly poisoned the next morning. I did suggest to the host that she not put them back but not sure whether she took that on board

Julie was a very welcoming and friendly host who offered helpful advice about the local area. The cottage was fitted out to the highest standard with great care taken with the provision of amenities. The room was spotless and the light breakfast was much appreciated. The garden surrounding the studio was neat and quaint. So many colorful teapots and cups a highlight. A wonderful stay.

Because of a tight schedule we could only stay one night. Would happily return for a longer stay.

Very clean and comfortable with nice pleasant welcoming hosts

A comfortable little oasis with lovely decor

Warm welcome. Very quiet. Comfortable bed. Great breakfast and snacks. V clean and tidy.

Missed having a table to sit at. Smaller than expected.

Friendly host. Lovely and comfortable and cosy. Attractive garden area. Very private. Nice cereals for breakfast with fruit and yoghurt.

Having to crawl under bed to access a multiplug. 😅

Julie offers a warm welcome and a very comfortable, quiet stay in her studio that nestles on her beautiful garden. Delicious breakfast provided. Lots of attention to detail meant nothing was lack. I recommend!

Quite a walk into town, which is why it is quiet, but you can easily drive in and park by the river for free.

Everything. Little touches like fruit, juice, milk whole setup was tastefully done

There wasn't anything we didn't like

The setting was very private and tranquil with a beautiful garden view. The decor was modern and cosy inside. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed for our night's stay including some biscuits with our coffee and some breakfast items. Julie our host was very welcoming and helpful. The location was great too.

Conveniently located to town. Very comfortable and clean. Garden was beautifully maintained by friendly onsite owners offering a screened area to sit. Great for single or couples who are in town for a day or 2 and who plan to explore and eat out. Small compact kitchen ideal for making drinks and snacks to enjoy in the lovely garden.

Thank you Julie for being such a wonderful host, bubbly and caring. I had a great stay at your place and felt at home as soon I opened the door. Your cottage is so comfy, charming and well equipped and it was a very peaceful place to stay at.

Nothing, everything was perfect!

Host Julie was very welcoming. Great location. Beautiful garden. Very clean and really comfortable. Breakfast supplies were a bonus. Highly recommend

Pretty cottage attached to the garage. A lot of love has been poured into the space. Fantastic clear communication making everything simple. Comfortable bed. Exceptionally clean and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely book again.

Nous n’avons passé qu’une nuit dans ce superbe B&B mais c’était vraiment top, du petit déjeuner aux équipements Julie a vraiment pensé à tout ! Je recommande vivement

Rien

Exceptional accommodation, nothing like others. Amazing experience to stay there. Wonderful generous and cheerful host.

The room has everything you need, but in result there is no much space left.

Attractive interior and lovely garden and bed mate. Specially seramic pot. Host made them

Amazing location. It was the perfect spot for a little staycation for my friends birthday! Very cute room, lots of privacy and we had an incredible sleep. 10/10!!!

Great stay

Everything was tip top, it’s clear the host has made an effort to think of all the little things that make a place cosy and comfortable.

There wasn’t anything I didn’t like - everything was thought of.

A very welcoming host and comfortable accommodation in a beautifully landscaped garden setting. Recommended!

Great location comfy bed nice breakfast and lovely hosts

Breakfast selection a bit sparse. Could have done with at least orange juice.

All fine

Wonderful location, loved the garden. Breakfast self-cooked from first class ingredients supplied was delicious.

Very comfy beds, quiet and well provisioned. Julie is lovely.

Nothing

Everthing was fantastic thanks

All good

Peaceful, private, cozy, clean….. We’re definitely coming back.

The location in an immaculate garden setting was lovely. A very clean property with very modern facilities. The breakfast was good.

Perhaps it was a little small in size, but this really didn't matter.

Great location and wonderful hosts.

Host went extra mile to get Gluten-free cereal which was appreciated. Lovely garden, friendly host. Nice walk to town.

Very comfortable and quiet. Loved the serene garden. . Julie looked after us really well. Enjoyed the breakfast options. Good advice o eating options.. Oh, and the comfortable bed. !

A well appointed self contained cottage in beautiful garden setting, very comfortable with reverse cycle aircon; bed super comfortable, smart TV; lovely hostess; would highly recommend.

Nothing

Excellent breakfast. Three options of muesli, fresh fruit, fresh milk, orange juice, coffee and delicious biscuits. Immaculate garden with a view of it out every window.

Everything. Hostess, setting, accommodation. Quiet location.

Nothing to dislike!

Beautiful studio unit exceptionally clean with high quality provisions and toiletries. Very friendly hosts. Good parking.

Nothing

Breakfast was a continental breakfast with plenty of choices of cereal, fresh fruit, juice and yoghurt. Two comfortable old fashion chairs, the decor was eclectic and there was a little seating area outside. Definitely great value for money. The best stay we've had so far.

Nice self-contained cottage with easy access. Comfortable bed and room. Outdoor area to sit in. Quiet location.

Bathroom designed for tall people. Towel rack extremely high as was the wash basin.

Our host was very nice and made us very welcome. The Cottage was so lovely.t

There waOne s nothing to not like !!

Lovely little cottage in nice residential area. Immaculate and well appointed and lots of personal touches. Own garden space. We loved it.

Wonderful hosts, charming room in a quiet garden setting, and yummy fruit with breakfast. I will happily stay there again.

Nothing could have been better, but visitors should know that there are two big lovely dogs who may bark loudly at your arrival.

The cottage was fitted out with quality furniture and fittings. Lots of little extra finishing touches that truly made it a home away from home. I travel extensively for work and this has definitely become one of my favorite places to stay.

Stylish cottage immaculatey presented

Well presented an clean. A lovely cottage.

Quiet and peaceful place to relax.

The peaceful ambiance, luxurious linens, super comfy bed, and secluded private gardens.so many thoughtful extras included made us feel spoiled and warmly welcomed. Loved everything about this beautiful little cottage.

everting was ok

It was a beautiful spot with greenery. Our host was so helpful with ideas for our stay. Very comfortable bed and a nice variety for a continental breakfast.

Can’t think of anything

This was a beautiful little cottage to stay in! It was clean and comfortable, close to the centre of Whanganui, and the owner was lovely.

Hand basin too high

Lovely to have fresh fruit in the room. Every little detail was thought of

NA

This is absolutely one of the best lodgings we stayed at in New Zealand! The host, Julie, is absolutely warm, helpful and friendly. She stated that the lodge is 'her baby' and it shows. The bed is one of the most comfortable beds we've ever had and the room was furnished with such care and class.

None.

Absolutely delightful studio. Spotlessly clean. Tastefully decorated. Breakfast of cereal and yogurt. Everything we needed (and more). Perfect.

Nice to choose out of several cereals. Milk and biscuits provided. It had a small outside area which located you in the middle of their lawn/garden area.Nice and peaceful

The photos don’t do it justice. Everything is top quality and thoughtfully presented.

The only thing was that I am short and the bathroom basin is very high.

Beautiful space, gorgeous bathroom and products. Well appointed, thank you. Close to Lad's Brewing, Speedway Garage and town for food, beverage and Waimarie cruise. Riverbank pathway is lovely and kids park well used by residents and visitors to Whanganui.

So quiet and comfortable. Everything that you require is provided for, and to a very high standard.

There was nothing we didn’t like.

Such a prefect little oasis in Whanganui. The cottage has everything you need and a super comfy bed. The outlook over the garden is so clam and relaxing and the beautiful orange tree is magnificent - you can see how the cottage got it's name. Perfect hosts.

Very comfortable bed, attention to detail excellent. Beautiful garden.

Beautiful private cottage in beautiful garden setting . Very comfortable.

No options for wife's specific dietary needs ( gluten & lactose intolerant) were provided which was a little disappointing as it was indicated at time of booking.
