About Station House

Station House is four private, gated apartments inside Whanganui's Old Central Fire Station on Guyton Street, a short walk from the city's shops, cafés, galleries and riverfront. In October 2017 Brian & Tracy took on the historic building and turned an upstairs space into their first guest apartment. Today there are four, each fully self-contained with a full kitchen, laundry, air conditioning and secure off-street parking behind electric gates.

The building's arched engine bays and classic façade give every stay a real sense of place, while double-glazed windows and renovated kitchens and bathrooms keep it warm, quiet and comfortable. Tracy & Brian are keen to do whatever they can to make sure you enjoy your stay.
