Perfect mini break to recharge your batteries
Beautifully appointed home, stunningly views and close enough to whanganui that we could pop to the Saturday morning river market with ease. Most comfy beds! Lots of space for everyone. Had a wonderful weekend. Information about peanut allergy would have been helpful at time of booking to ensure no peanuts were taken to the house. we're keennto make this a yearly trip! Thanks so much 😀

Outstanding home
All members of our family loved our experience at this property, from elderly parents, to youngest grandchild.
We didnt realise that there were stairs, as elderly father is not so mobile, but he managed well.
Would recommend property very highly.

Mum’s breakaway
We were a group of 7 friends (all mums), looking for a nice relaxing weekend away from our busy lives. The house was absolutely lovely and the views are stunning. A short walk to the beach, what more can you ask for?! Ample space for everyone. We will be keen to return. Thank you for a great weekend

Lovely new house with stunning views
Really enjoyed our stay here - lovely new house in a small coastal settlement about 15 mins drive from Whanganui. Very clean and tidy, great bathrooms and even has a butlers pantry. Would definitely come back. Owner was very helpful and a pleasure to deal with.

House with a view
Lovely house with great view and very comfortable.
Harriett was a good host and contact was good.
House will be great when heating/cooling is installed and also curtains to block out sunlight.
Hope to return again one day.

Exceptional Home ad Location
Our stay here was nothing short of amazing! The incredible views were one thing but the house was immaculate with a style of design that’s hard to beat. My wife and I are building a home in California USA and we took notes on what we would like to include in our design. The great communication with Harriet was so helpful and we would definitely recommend staying here. Thank you very much for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home!

Kai Iwi slice of paradise
Beautifully designed home with million dollar views. In a world of your own but a stone throw from Wanganui. Host went out of the way to make us welcome. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous home with us. Even better than the pictures, and they are incredible.

Magical Stay!
Our group of family and friends had a great stay in Kai Iwi at the bach.
The house was clean and comfortable with everything needed for a weekend getaway.
The veiws from the deck were stunningly beautiful and we were very lucky to have perfect weather and got to enjoy the most beautiful sunsets from the deck both nights we stayed.
We are hoping to return for another stay, maybe next time we will bring the kids.
Thanks again for sharing your amazing home with us.

Family friendly with amazing views
The spacious property was perfect for our family. The panoramic view was amazing and the facilities were on point.
Recycling bins and some bigger mirrors would be the only suggestion I have. Otherwise if we’re in the area again - this is absolutely where we’d stay.

This home along with the location and views are beautiful. This was everything we wanted for a chilled girls weekend away, we were sad to leave. Harriet is a lovely and very responsive host. We'll definitely be looking to book again.
