Sunset Spa by the beach
Great spot by the beach. Awesome views and the spa was a nice bonus. Reasonably close to town so a good base for us visiting Whanganui

Lovely views
Three guests (a couple plus one) enjoyed the fantastic views from the deck, the wonderful spa pool, and having a cozy place to read and puzzle over a stormy couple days. The beds are super comfortable! Some minor repairs needed around the house, but all in all, very functional and suited our needs. Communication with the owner was easy when a change to the reservation was needed.

All about the views
Cosy house in suburbs of Whanganui. Elevated beach views which also means lots of wind. The spa was wonderful. To access beach you can walk down the road and and along sheltered path behind beach. Big adventure playground at Castlecliff beach.
