The Fijoas

The floors were filthy, our feet were blackened. It needed a vacuum & mop. My grandson touched black stuff on the floor & it was like nicotine. Really stunk! Aircon remote did not work so had to stand on the bed to reach the panel to turn on & off. Neighbours were noisy, woke us up in the middle of night. Fridge is missing bottle shelf rack so our milk leaked through the fridge as had to lay the bottle on the shelf. It appears some units maybe used for long term as a dodgy character came by early morning asking if this was still Cameron’s place. Looked like a druggie!

Cleanest motel I've ever seen. Had everything we needed. Loved the maps at the reception - such a rarity these days but great for us non smartphone users.

Room a bit small, but ok for one night.

"Great location to stay in Whanganui"

9.0

The staff were nice and friendly, check in was swift, the room was clean and tidy. Individual parking directly at the unit was very useful.

There is a bit of street noise at times.
