Tulloch Manor, built into the hillside in 1983, is a 3 level, New Zealand award winning Architecturally Designed Tudor home. It has also featured in the NZ Home & Garden Magazine. It's unique, light and spacious design features - heavy rafters above the raised sitting room area, spiral staircase and arched doorways. The heavy wooden doors and slate floor, overlooked by a large gilt mirror makes for a dramatic entrance hall. A low octagonal ceiling in the main turret creates an intimate atmosphere for diners at the mahogany table. On the very edge of the city, but only 5 minutes drive to the city centre, its private north facing position overlooks rural countryside. With its peaceful, quiet surroundings you start relaxing as soon as you walk through the door.

If you're sitting out on the deck you can hear a multitude of birds singing and see the Tui's, Bell Birds, Warblers, Kingfishers, Wax Eyes, Wood Pigeons and Fantails - to name just a few - feeding at the bird table or on the many native trees and bushes around the house. After sunset be serenaded by a Morepork (NZ Owl) family and after sunrise hear our resident Ring Necked Pheasants calling out for their breakfast.

What a lovely welcome!
We stayed one night at Tulloch Manor, and had a very warm welcome from Wendy and Barry. The house is gorgeous and they really have thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible, There were many different seating areas to relax in, including a fantastic deck with a pool, which we made the most of. We had use of a fridge, tea and coffee making facilities plus a water cooler. There were lots of very useful information/leaflets on all the things you can do in Wanganui which was most helpful. The bed was extremely comfortable and it was lovely to have a choice of different pillows. Breakfast was very delicious, we had home made bread which was still warm plus a huge selection of local jams, yoghurts, fruits, cereals and croissants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you Wendy and Barry.

My Kiwi reunion
It was October the birth month of my mother. Who had passed a few months before missing her 95 Birthday. My wife and I had a quick visit back to New Zealand for the funeral. Now returned on to visit family and friends for Moms Birth month. As we traveled NZ visiting we came to stay to Wendy & Barry. I remember the warm feeling of welcome we got when we arrived and standing out on the deck looking at the beautiful garden of native trees and ferns. The birds singing a beautiful songs as the wife and had a coffee after a busy day sightseeing. Myself and my wife had a very comfortable stay and can’t wait to return for another visit with Wendy and Barry and there family. I know it will be lovely to sit by the pool and relax and commune with nature and the feeling of being home.

Amazing stay, great hospitality
We stayed with Barry and Wendy whilst touring New Zealand on the Lions tour. The communication prior to arriving was amazing and very quick and once we arrived we was made to feel extremely welcome. We had a fantastic stay and time with Barry and Wendy and hope to return soon and definitely recommend anyone to stay with them.
Fantastic stay
