"This is our 3rd time to stay at the Dunes, the spa pool and views are amazing. However the plumbing is needing some attention. We wondered why there was a plunger beside the toilet and the kitchen taps are a bit tired. But it was still an enjoyable stay and we couldn't fault the cleanliness"

"A neat, clean property in a location very handy to central Whanganui. It suited our group well although it was very difficult to cook for 6 using the small pots - we borrowed some from a friend. Arrived to find someone had jumped the fence and fairly well stripped the lemon tree before we moved him on. The major downside was the terrible WiFi which was almost unusable and the very old TV - could not use it for the kids or anything but the news really. Otherwise a great location and would...

After a long trip we arrived late and they heated our dinner for us and made sure that the unit was warm and ready for us to rest. Thank you very much we will definitely come and...
