This beautiful home in the heart of Wanganui was designed in 2020 for a family that enjoys entertaining, and has since won awards for its stunning kitchen design.
Du Bois Designer Kitchens and Interiors were responsible for the interior, and Natalie Du Bois received Designer of the Year 2022 for this kitchen.

Set back from the road, the location of the house on the property ensures privacy, with the Rotokawau/Virginia Lake Reserve behind it.
