Riverlea Cottage is a comfortable 100-year-old Villa with a cosy home-like feeling. The lounge suites are comfy and overall, it's a great place to come and relax for a weekend or longer.
The only downsides are the house has pale oatmeal-coloured carpets and despite regular carpet cleaning some marks have not quite come out. See Carpet photos in the portfolio. From the photos it is very difficult to see any issue. This does not bother most people but if you are a stickler for perfection then another property might suit you. The other is the bathroom is recently renovated but is compact. This also contains a washing machine in the Laundry Cupboard. Saying that the shower water pressure is excellent and being gas heated the hot water never runs out.
Outside,
The cottage has nice lines and is as you can see in the photos. The Garden is cottage-like, unpretentious, and tidy with fresh flowers in the garden in the Spring-Summer months and early Autumn. At the rear of the house is a functional parking area and next to the back door is a basic well-used outdoor seating area with an outdoor table. There is enough space to park two or three cars and more space along the driveway. We once had a car club park eight cars off-street.
Location
The Cottage is about a 5-minute drive to the Restaurants and Cafes on the Main Street which is about 2km away. The Supermarket is 2.5 km away and closes at 8 pm. The house is located next to a public farm-like reserve and is 150m from the Wanganui River. You can just walk across the paddocks to get to the river and catch trout from the banks. There is a fishing rod supplied with the house. Area: Most of the houses in the area are Taumarunui middle-income 3 and 4-bedroom 1920s bungalows and for the most part are well kept. Except for the eccentric retired Engineer on the Corner is a hoarder - Nice people though.. You can see most people take a degree of pride in their properties.
Neighbours
Looking out from the front of the house there is an attractive view of the poplar trees, willows, rolling hills, and pasture land beyond them. There is a largely empty section on one side of us as their house was destroyed by fire 5 years ago. Behind us and on the other side of us are families with young children. The neighbor on the other side of us is a renter. They are a family with Children who are reasonably quiet bar a bit of play on the trampoline. You can hear them playing outside in the evenings in Summer. overall the neighbours are quiet as a rule.
Quiet
A really big advantage of the location is that the house is protected from train noise by an embankment 50m behind the house which comes through Taumarunui on a regular basis at night. This can keep you awake at night if you are not used to the noise. Many hotels and some BNBs in Taumarunui are exposed to this train noise so that's something to be aware of. If you're looking for a bit of country 5 minutes from eateries and shops this is it. Further out, there aren't any diaries close by if you need something.

Summary: We really enjoyed staying in the art house. A good welcome from Mark and good communication during the booking process. The house felt like home, had games and activities with plenty of outdoor space if we were travelling with grandchildren. We would definitely stay again when in the area
