Home away from home
Our stay was amazing. The home was equipped with everything you could possibly need. The property owners were very welcoming and had organised everything for our arrival. Nothing was to much of an ask and they went above and beyond to make us comfortable. Great location central to everything. Our family had a place to unwind and relax after adventuring around Whanganui. Thank you to the owners for making our holiday a memorable one. Highly recommended.

Family Holiday
We enjoyed our stay and the house is as listed. Only complaint were the mattresses on the single beds. Might be okay for children, but not good for adults. All 4 adults that stayed in single beds complained. Other than that the property was perfect and the continental breakfast was a thoughtful addition.

A wonderful stay with a wonderful house.
We had a fabulous stay at Charmae. Allan and Kathy are awesome hosts and really kind and caring. Thoughtful things throughout the house like cotton buds, coffee, coffee crystals. The house is pretty amazing and very spacious. It was really beneficial for us to have bedrooms separated by other spaces, so the bedrooms aren't all next to each other. We found that worked really well. We also had car trouble - Allan and Kathy were so helpful! I can't thank them enough for kindness.

A wonderful stay with a wonderful house.
Allan and Kathy have a beautiful guest house that is well located and feels like a home away from home. We really enjoyed staying at Charmae and highly recommend their guest house. Allan and Kathy are wonderful kind hosts. They welcomed up warmly and the house has little things that most places wouldn't think of like cotton buds, coffee, and sugar crystals! We stayed five nights in total, so on our return back through Wanganui, they even remembered my mum couldn't have the electric blanket plugged in - extremely thoughtful. It's the little things that really made us feel welcome. We also had car trouble. Allan and Kathy were so kind and helpful and even arranged for us to stay another night so we could get the car fixed and travel home safe. We really recommend staying at Charmae and are ever grateful to Allan and Kathy.

golf trip
We had a group of 4 players attending a golf tournament in Wanganui and stayed 4 nights. It was clean,tidy and well presented with far more available beds for larger groups. Great friendly hosts to deal with and very efficient.They had left cereals,condiments etc available for our use whilst we didn't use them I am sure many would find this useful. Highly recommend this place and couldn't fault anything at all. Thanks for sharing your lovely house with us.
