The spacious room with a cozy kitchenette and renovated bathroom provided a comfortable retreat for our large family. the kids adored exploring the nearby paddocks with adorable rural animals, making our stay truly unforgettable. The scenic views of the river and valley from the converted building were breathtaking, creating a peaceful atmosphere that we all cherished. Cons: For dads, it would be great to have a few more cooking facilities in the room for family meals.

A charming, unique stay at the Signal Box in Whanganui! Loved the riverside location and cozy ambiance. Only drawback was limited cooking options, but not an issue for us. Perfect for a short retreat in nature with a touch of history. Can't wait to return!

On our recent stay at this hotel, we were pleasantly surprised by the charming rural setting and the sound of chirping birds in the morning. the room was spacious and well-equipped with a newly renovated bathroom and a comfortable bed. the owners were friendly and provided us with great local tips. We enjoyed the privacy of the location, overlooking the garden and river, which created a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere. the unique style of this accommodation, being an old railway signal box, added to the overall appeal.

One minor improvement could be adding extra reading lights in the room who prefer reading in bed.

The room was cozy and had a great view over the river. It felt luxurious and the converted signal box added a unique touch. the rural setting and chirping birds in the morning were delightful.

Some road noise may bother light sleepers, but didn't bother me.

we woke up in a glorious rural setting next to the river, surrounded by chirping birds. Signal Box was a wonderful tranquil retreat with a beautifully restored decor to suit the era. the spacious room had all necessities, a comfortable bed, and access to paddocks with delightful rural animals.

All good 😊

Signal Box offers a serene B&B atmosphere without breakfast. WiFi available with tranquil river walks, orchard, and native trees. Luxurious vibe and unique view over the river from the old signal box. Loved the peaceful haven, birdsong, and farm animals. Perfect retreat for a summer road trip.

Location a bit secluded, distant from dining.

Lovely location, great views, WiFi, charming B&B style, peaceful.

Couldn't fault.

This unique accommodation was perfect for our city break. the semi-rural location allowed for a relaxing stay while still being close to town. the well-appointed facilities included everything we needed, and the added touch of biscuits and coffee made us feel welcome. We appreciated the lack of a TV, which allowed us to truly unwind. the beautiful scenery and peaceful river were the best aspects, adding to the overall relaxing experience.

The distance from town. While it was not an issue for us as we had a car, we can see how it might be inconvenient for those who plan to eat out or explore the city.
