We were absolutely overwhelmed with the presentation of the property-it was immaculate, and beautifully maintained. Breakfast was exceptional, truly the best we've had. Our Hosts, Alan and Lois, were such lovely people who made us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we arrived. We highly recommend staying here and will definitely return!

Durie Vale Lodge is everything you would want for a quiet get away, and more. It was luxurious, tranquil, and our hosts were exceptional in their attention to detail, making us feel welcome, giving us our privacy and going out of their way to care for us. The private wing was warm and cozy. The bed was very comfortable. The amenities excellent. The native bush garden was delightful and the hot tub under the stars was the cherry on top. But don’t just take my word for it, find out for yourself.

If there is anything to make it better I’m sure the hosts will think of it and make it happen!

The hosts were very welcoming and on site when we arrived and provided a great outline of the facility. The accommodation was very well appointed and provided a number of wonderful extras.

The best ! Great location . The hosts went the extra mile . Loves everything

Wow, what a bonus surprise. Guest room (really a small flat/suite) is gorgeous. Alan and Lois are attentive proud hosts. The attention to detail, the homemade petit-fours, just outstanding.

We had a fantastic stay at the lodge. With delightful hosts, immaculately clean and comfortable accomodation together with exceptional attention to detail made our stay wonderful. The tasty nutritious breakfast was the perfect start to every day.

10/10 really doesn’t do this place justice. It’s absolutely perfect in every way. Alan and Lois really have found a slice of paradise. They are also the most wonderful people and fantastic hosts. You will not find better. This guest wing is extremely spacious , clean and comfortable. The beds are like clouds. Alan and Lois go above and beyond to ensure you’ll have everything you need. The breakfast is amazing and we could have chatted all day. Thank you for making our stay so lovely. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

Everything

Nothing

Durie Vale Lodge exceeded our expectations as beautiful accommodation in a peaceful valley, just 5 minutes from the centre of Whanganui. Our rooms were immaculately clean, modern, well-appointed with everything we needed. Our livingroom looked out on tui feeding in the private and peaceful garden. Lois and Alan are warm and welcoming hosts who gave us great tips about local attractions. After a big bike ride beside the Whanganui River, it was bliss to spend a couple of hours that evening in the private outdoor hot tub, staring at the stars above.
