“A bright, cozy and tidy location. The owner was very helpful.”
The breakfast was good. We used the communal kitchen to eat cereal and make toast. It was a quiet spot and very clean. We were within walking distance to downtown and restaurants.

“Didn't happen.................unaware hosts?”
I didn't actually get to Featherston as the Remutaka Road was closed??? I found this out while on the Motorway to Upper Hutt and was extremely disappointed as I felt that the Hosts of Magnolia House should have been aware of this but they took my booking knowing I was on the 7.15pm Ferry from Picton to Wellington and actually told me I would be arriving after 12pm and they would leave the light on and the door unlocked. Obviously I had a nightmare of a night after I learned the road was closed for maintenance and I found out later that the notice was published from the Featherston side a few weeks in advance?? why didn't the host tell me???

“Absolutely lovely stay, very welcoming, warm and homey!”
The room was absolutely perfect for our overnight stay. Everything was well appointed, felt fresh and clean. Really nice having a fridge in our room, complete with tea and coffee making facilities, milk in the fridge and a wee sweet bonus of a few lollies to tide us over. Having the bathroom right next door was no hassle, and the use of bath robes was a really nice touch. The shared kitchen is extremely well appointed, clean and tidy. Met one of the permanent guest who was just lovely. Overall, a really nice stay, and we'll definately be back!! Oh, and we didn't get disturbed by any train noise at all.

“Very happy with the accommodation and plan on staying again soon.”
Very central location, very clean room and facilities, well appointed kitchen. It is a great option if you want to ride the Rimutaka Rail Trail as you can catch the train to Maymorn and ride back to Featherston.

“We had a perfect one night stay during a local music festival”
The room was very quiet while we were there but the trains were not running. I think normally it could be quite noisy as the train track is right beside the house.

The furnishings were lovely and the garden too. Great service from owner. I liked that there were 3 bathrooms and a large communal lounge and kitchen. I liked the dressing gowns in the bedroom. Handy location. It was great that bodywash was provided.
