Fantastic property and great location, it has the most beautiful views. The property was a very high standard and super comfy beds, everything we needed was included. Would definitely stay here again.
Sensational views Very comfortable
Nothing
Spectacular view over the river and the city. Only a 5 minute walk straight into the centre of town too, making it a great place to explore from on foot. The apartment itself was well appointed, immaculately clean, beautiful in its own right. The hospitality of our hosts was also wonderful. A bonus for us was being able to have our dog accompany us on this trip. We will be back time and again!
Leaving? No complaints from us!
Lovely apartment. Clean, warm. Beautiful views. Great location. We will be back.
The location was perfect for us, the view was stunning day and night. We did hear the pub down from us when we were outside but they were very respectful at turning it down as the night went on. Pool table was a bonus!
There was a Nespresso machine but we could not find any pods for it.
Great location, walking distance to CBD and lift Great views!
Great views and location
The views perfect
Angle of the drive
Lovely clean property with all equipment you need. Fantastic view of the town and river.
Steep drive
전망이 너무 멋짐. 넓고 탁드인 실내 4인 가족에게 안성맞춤
딱히 없음.
The view was exceptional. The house was clean and comfy.
There was a coffee machine on the kitchen bench but no coffee pods which was a bit disapointing.
The property was absolutely stunning. I loved the location, the view, and the cleanliness of the property. I couldn't fault anything about it, and will be staying again on my next business trip. Ngā mihi nui Hipango point.
The is a beautiful property with panoramic views over the city and river. Everything you could want is provided and it is close to the centre. I would definitely stay again.
The views. The beds. The deck for coffee in the morning. Apartment had almost everything needed.
Apologies, I forgot to contact the owner to say the toilet seat was loose on arrival so it could be tightened. This is not a criticism but an update of facilities.
Thoroughly enjoyed the unit, the view never got old, a never ending postcard. We experienced some beautiful sunsets the location gave us and the advantage point of viewing the surrounding lush green countryside and the ability to watch the river activities and town below from a lovely balcony. The unit was close and well positioned to everything, with the town only a short walk away to restaurants, pubs, river walks, museum, Art Gallery with a fitness challenge of the Durie Hill stairs on the walk back [to work off the extra kilo's gained from the restaurants and pubs :-) ]. Also the added bonus of visiting the Durie Hill Memorial Towers on our doorstep.The unit had everything needed for a very comfortable stay. It was clean, tidy, comfortable lounge set-up, lovely kitchware, lovely decor, the advantage of a washer /dryer which came in very handy, and a great bathroom to enjoy a nice hot shower at the end of the day. It made our holiday having such a unique glorious place to chill and enjoy in. Thank you for the opportunity 🙏
Nothing that I didn't like. Just on the next visit, as there will be a next time, would be nice to see some little TLC maintenance done, i.e. refelting pool table, the woods (balcony decking, feature/retaining walls) reoiled/stained to bring out the full glorious character of the place.
Loved everything about it
I think you need a step from the garage to the house that is the only thing I would add
Stunning view across the river to the town. Superb decking area. Everything clean and comfortable. The Saturday market, the Regional Museum and the Bason Botanic Garden are great.
To walk into town requires tackling a daunting 160 steps down and, then, back up. There is a brilliant elevator which emerges just behind Hipango Terrace, although it closes at 6 pm.
Große schöne Wohnung, etwas in die Jahre gekommen aber sehr cool, außerordentliche Terrasse mit Vie, Zudem mehrere Sitzmöglichkeiten. 2 Schlafzimmer, beide groß, Bad sehr groß. Alles vorhanden auch Waschmaschine etc. Michael war sehr nett und hilfsbereit!
Parksituation für eher tiefliegende Autos schwierig, aber auf der Straße ist immer was
This modern style property is conveniently placed to make the most of the Durie Hill elevator and the steps. Then just short walk across the bridge to the Saturday Riverside market and cafes etc. We were able to have our Labrador stay with us which was wonderful. The views and landscaped garden are lovely, and we were able to open up the sliding doors to enjoy it. It’s a comfortable modern build which makes the most of its location, with art, homely touches and everything you might need.
There is some nighttime noise (cars and a pub) that comes up the hill, to be expected on a weekend. The thick glass blocks a lot and we didn’t find it a problem. The drive is a little steep so may be a little challenging for big vehicles or inexperienced drivers, but there’s room to park on the street.
View and comfort. Well insulated.....decent winds outside. Couldn't feel a thing
Driveway steep.....careful when backing to ensure car doesn't scrape. Decent garage!!
Amazing location, even better views, this is the kind of place you'll never want to close the curtains. Easy to access town both by vehicle or walking with the steps and walkway right next door. We're definitely coming back to Hipango Point.
Fantastic view, modern, well equipped, comfortable, sunny 🌞
Driveway challenging, not fenced for our dog
Fabulous view, sunny, convenient location

Nothing
The view was spectacular, the property was a great size & facilities were also amazing. I especially liked that there were lots of things in the kitchen to use instead of the stock standard minimum that is provided. Such good value for money!
Beds are a tiny bit uncomfortable but we would stay there again if the opportunity arose!
A perfect place to stay with everything you need for a long or short stay. The views are stunning and it's difficult to leave to explore the lovely town of Whanganui! Couldn't recommend staying at Hipango point enough.
Extremely well maintained and comfortable. Stylishly decorated property with attention to detail. Very clean. The great view was an added benefit. Couldn’t have asked for more.
Leaving! 😜
There were no coffee capsules for the coffee machine
The accommodation was very comfortable, clean and had everything we needed for a great holiday in Whanganui. The views from the property were spectacular, looking out over the river and city. Photos were taken from the deck. It was very close to town and all the attractions. Would highly recommend this property. Would definitely stay here again!
A really good place to call home for the weekend and we were able to invite friends around to admire the view
We never got around to trying out the Durie Hill Elevator!
The view is amazing. We really enjoyed the outside pool table and how beautifully decorated the place is. It has everything for a comfortable relaxing stay. It was also great to be able to bring our dog. Would happily stay again.
Needing to enter and exit through the garage, if it was possible to have a key for the sliding door, this would be great, especially when leaving for walks. Also, the car scrapped on the garage entrance due to the angle, perhaps a little ramp would help with this?
Amazing views of the river and city. Well equipped kitchen. Loved the pool table and other games. A really nice apartment, very homely - a great home away from home 🙂
Beds not the best, and the lounge suite wasn't very comfortable (also not facing the view!). It is a bit far from the town - either you have to walk up/down the Durie Hill steps or drive into town (but the view is totally worth it)
Awesome location, modern and tidy everything you need Would highly recommend AAA+
the view. the hot tub.
we had difficulty programming the tv. driveway not so good. no instructions for stove or blinds. Owner did come to assist with things.
Excellent place to stay, views are stunning!
Driveway can be a little awkward as it’s very steep and curved.
