Featuring quiet street views, Durie Vale Retreat offers accommodation with a garden and a patio, around 47 km from RNZAF Base Ohakea. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are available at the holiday home free of charge.

Even in the rain it was perfect for our stay. The kitchen was well equipped to allow us to make a pasta dinner complete with garlic bread and a breakfast of French toast using the fresh farm eggs and milk along with the orange juice supplied that tasted like fresh squeezed. So delicious! We really appreciated that there was also a washer plus dryer to refresh our limited clothing supply! The house was spacious and comfortable. In nicer weather we would have enjoyed sitting out on the deck for our meals. It was close to the city but also was rural so very peaceful and private. Definitely an incredible bargain in today’s market. Thank you!!

    This is truly character villa and Debby has done a splendid job to preserve the character and experience of living in a villa from a different era. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would certainly stay here again the next time Im in Whanganui. The self check-in technology Debby is using makes the entire experince from start to finish a breeze - no hassles at all looking for keys in lock boxes or hoping someone is home to let me in.

    Amazing hosts that were so kind and accommodating. The kids loved the games room, ok mum and dad enjoyed it to!. The facilities were really well kept and clean. Our villa was amazing and served us well. The shower and kitchen blew us away at how good it was. The kids loved the playgrounds and the ice-cream machine. We will definitely be back in summer to experience the hot chip machine! And to experience the rest of what is to offer as we had limited time to experience the parks full facilities.
