Accommodation at Paloma
Paloma welcomes guests in several different types of accommodation.
The Red House
The romantic Red House offers luxury, nestled in an extraordinary garden of beauty and art, awarded “garden of national significance” by the New Zealand Gardens Trust.
The Red House is well appointed, with self-serve continental breakfast, queen four-poster bed, ensuite bathroom, fridge, microwave, many books, magazines and DVDs to enjoy, as well as the garden, bush, farm and animals.
The garden offers diversity: from the bamboo and palm forests, ponds, the hot and spectacular Jardin Exotique with cacti, aloes, agaves and other succulents, to the pétanque court and areas where the plantings invite you to relax and enjoy the spectacular landscaping.
Your hosts, Nicki and Clive Higgie, are farmers and vitally active in Whanganui life. They can help you enjoy your visit to vibrant Whanganui or leave you in peace to relax.
Just 20km to Whanganui, The Red House welcomes you with peaceful serenity, to a home away from home, for $120 per night (reduced to $100 per night for second and subsequent, successive nights).

Cabins in the Valley of Tranquillity
The Valley of Tranquillity is out on the farm and is in fact four kilometres from the garden. The valley is totally isolated and surrounded by hundreds of acres of forest and bush.
Two peaceful, secluded lake-side cabins are complemented by a communal cook-house, flush toilet and solar shower. Simone's Summer House, as yet unlined, offers a double mattress and single mattress on the mezzanine floor plus a double sofa bed on the ground floor, for $60/night. Guy's Boat House is compact, better finished, with a double bed, for $60/night. Minimum stay is two nights for each cabin. Ideal for romantic get-aways or hire both cabins for family fun.
