A comfortable home away from home with excellent facilities. Situation is fairly close to shopping and walks along the side of the river.

We had a fabulous stay at Charmae. Allan and Kathy are awesome hosts and really kind and caring. Thoughtful things throughout the house like cotton buds, coffee, coffee crystals. The house is pretty amazing and very spacious. It was really beneficial for us to have bedrooms separated by other spaces, so the bedrooms aren't all next to each other. We found that worked really well.
We also had car trouble - Allan and Kathy were so helpful! I can't thank them enough for kindness.

Allan and Kathy have a beautiful guest house that is well located and feels like a home away from home. We really enjoyed staying at Charmae and highly recommend their guest house. Allan and Kathy are wonderful kind hosts. They welcomed up warmly and the house has little things that most places wouldn't think of like cotton buds, coffee, and sugar crystals! We stayed five nights in total, so on our return back through Wanganui, they even remembered my mum couldn't have the electric blanket plugged in - extremely thoughtful. It's the little things that really made us feel welcome.
We also had car trouble. Allan and Kathy were so kind and helpful and even arranged for us to stay another night so we could get the car fixed and travel home safe.
We really recommend staying at Charmae and are ever grateful to Allan and Kathy.
