Fordell Cottage | Rural hideaway, just 10 minutes from Wanganui

2 Bedroom Cottage in Fordell

Magnolia Cottage is a two storey, self contained space, separate to the main house, with your own private access. We are just a 10min scenic drive from vibrant and historic Whanganui, and a few minutes from SH3 & the popular Paloma Gardens.
Quiet location on our lifestyle block surrounded by farmland. Help feed the pet lambs during August/September.
Spacious, bright and airy, with rural views and private deck.
Guests often comment that they wish they had booked a longer stay.
We often accept same day bookings on request.
Easy access - we will leave the cottage unlocked if we are not going to be at home for your arrival.
Free WIFI
A generous, self serve, continental breakfast, including fresh farm eggs, to cook and have at your leisure.
Parking for multiple cars or trailers at the Cottage.
The driveway can be a bit tight for some larger vehicles (like 6-berth camper vans that some guests have arrived in), we do have alternative parking for these bigger vehicles in the front paddock if you wish, which is then just a short walk up the drive to the Cottage.
Fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, bench top multi oven, everything you need including a variety of tea bags, instant and plunger coffee, a Nespresso coffee pod machine, toastie pie maker, nutri blender and filtered drinking water.
There is a washing machine in the Cottage and a clothesline for your use.
The two bedrooms are upstairs, with queen sized beds. The first bedroom is in an open area at the top of the stairs. The second bedroom is accessed through the first bedroom, with a connecting door that you can close.
There is a double sofa-bed downstairs in the living area, plus a spare single floor mattress and a porta-cot, all with bedding/pillows supplied.
The bathroom and toilet are downstairs.
Private outdoor deck with seating for morning coffees or quiet evening drinks taking in the stars and rural views. There is a BBQ on the deck for your use.
Amazing bird life, star gazing on clear nights and an ever-changing rural outlook.
We have a few dogs, who will be in their kennels if we are not home, or if you have advised us of an approximate arrival time. If not, they are all friendly, and we will happily put them away while you get unpacked :)
