"In over 50 years of experimenting motels and B&B places in NZ, Australia and other countries, our welcome at Braemar House was quite unique. It proved to be outstanding hospitality at a delightful location. Also great value!!"

"What a lovely historic house to stay in. Helpful and friendly host and nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommmend. Jean and John. Beverley. England"
"Brilliant!"
"Clive and Rob were ideal hosts. They knew when to give us attention and when to leave us alone, to our own devices. The house was immaculately clean and exotically furnished. Full marks!!"
"From the moment I arrived I was made welcome by Clive and the house is a delight. An old hospital, it is beautifully decorated in the style of the period. The room was lovely - comfortable queen bed and french doors opening onto an enclosed balcony. My own handbasin and the shared bath & shower rooms were easy. The toilet with the copper cistern and the chain-pull were absolutely in keeping with the rest of the house !! The bath was long and deep and there was plenty of hot water. Clive was a gracious host and provided a continental breakfast that set me up for my day's work. The garden was lovely with a water feature and the chooks foraging were very cute and added to the rural ambience in the town. Easy access to the mighty Whanganui river and its environs and a lovely stroll into town to meet colleagues for dinner. There was also a quiet guests' lounge with a television that I was happy to relax in front of on my second night and while I didn't require it, there was internet access for guests. A thoroughly enjoyable stay and I would recommend you give it a try."
"Lovely dignified home to stay at. Very welcoming and everything arranged for us, beyond our expectations. Hosts friendly and helpful, loved the two big baths I had. Old big home reminded me of the Scottish home of my youth."
