Kai Iwi Beach

Browns Boutique BnB, a beautiful bed and breakfast in the heart of Whanganui… more than just a place to rest your head. We offer gourmet breakfasts. We are lucky to live in a special and beautiful place, and Browns Boutique BnB is about sharing our space with others. We love good food and our breakfasts are delicious. The space The Watercolour Room is washed by the morning light. Step into the adjoining sunroom to enjoy your morning breakfast and relax, read or work here, looking out to the garden. If requested the sunroom can be set up with a king single bed for an extra guest at an additional cost of $50 per night including breakfast. The Watercolour Room has its own beautiful ensuite, with tiles handcrafted by local artisan Moabell Design, a freestanding bath and overhead shower. Don’t be surprised if one of the highlights of your stay is a long soak in the bath! Jenny makes heavenly scented soaking salts just for this bath, at no extra charge. Our rooms are filled with art made by our wonderful local artists and makers, plus ‘quirky finds’ from local charity and antique shops. Every detail has been crafted to make your stay unforgettable. The River Room sits between the rising and the setting sun. This room has a wood burner for those chilly nights and a television for relaxed evenings sipping on a wine and watching movies. You may enjoy to pick out a book from the library and read up on 'things to do' in NZ or lose yourself in a good novel. Either way, it's about unwinding. Guest access We offer two separate rooms, the Watercolour Room and the River Room. Each has its own special character and access off the private courtyard, so you can come and go as you wish. We are located at 34 College Street, College Estate, Whanganui 4500, New Zealand. Drive up the brick lined entrance, our home sits on the top of the hill. There is parking at the top. Interaction with guests We know when you're travelling that some days you want to collapse quietly in a heap and chill out, and other days, you want to find out what's ticking. We can happily meet both needs. We love to chat and find out about you but can respect your privacy if you need it.
