- Harman (9/5): -
- Kumeroa (10/5): -
- Zane (6/5): - Interesting building ,
Quiet room. Pool was dirty and spa not in operation which was a selling point from the pictures
- Shailendra Singh (9/5): Overall a very good value for money. I highly recommend this property. - Good location. Friendly staff. Prompt service. Heating facilities were inadequate.
- Ross (10/5): - Very clean and Tidy. Excellent value for money
- Peter (9/5): - Good value
- Mravicich (6/5): - Na Na
- Paula (7/5): The location and price was great for short notice. - At short notice I had accidently booked a room with a shared bathroom and on arrival I was made aware of this and offered a room with a private ensuite at no extra charge which was so very nice. The room was more then we expected especially for the price and we were very happy. The top sheet either had a stain or had not been changed and because we arrived back late at night I could only pull it off then I let someone know when we checked out by texting the number on the office door.
- Movers (2/5): - The only thing I liked was the manager. When we arrived I thought they had a restaurant as I put down we would like a meal bought up to our room.Well they did that it was frozen food bought from a local noodle canteen it was shit and I told the manager so he took me on his car to the noodle shop to confront them 5 chefs looked at it then asked me to pick any dish I wanted I laughed asked for my money back and we left I bought KFC after that.I would not recommend this place because when u pay for a room it should be clean and everything working shower had minimal hot water coming thru we found a bug in one towel that was left out for us the facilities are falling down old and not maintained pass poor if you ask me oh yea check the jug out inside before you use it their maybe bugs in that too he'll no to this place lez lj furniture movers
- Simon (9/5): - Value for money
- Rosi (10/5): Was in town for a funeral, staff was so accomodating to our needs, made the process so easy & enjoyable. Will defini - Location, Very accomodating host with early check in & late check out Looks were deceiving.
This place is way better then it looks.
- earnshaw (10/5): Best motel in wanganui 5 ☆☆☆☆☆ - I absolutely loved it AMAZING beautiful comfortable great value for money I HIGHLY recommend this place definitely will go back every time I go to wanganui
next time im getting in the pool !! Wasn't anything I didnt like cos I loved everything about this motel!!
- Gabel (5/5): Backpacking standard - That they want to get it back into shape. Musty (toilet) smell from the ground floor. We were in the conference building, in one of the four upstairs rooms.
See images.
- Gina (8/5): - The room was painted white inside like a little cottage. I liked that. It felt homely and cosy, just the way I wanted to feel from a very long trip alone. From the exterior of the premises its painted black and looked dull and lifeless. The person in reception didn't smile much and there was a language barrier, but he was helpful and accomodating, just not friendly. But he carried my bag to my room and that was kind.
- Ross (7/5): relaxing stay. - Clean tidy room. Shower in my unit was cold when I had a shower on my last morning, but I was able to find another shower that was very good.
- ravicancer (10/5): - Cleanliness, facilities,
- Kate (3/5): please have someone who can speak english in answering the phone call at reception. we called to inquire about a thing l - easy access from the road it smells smoke in when you enter the lounge
- Sera (5/5): Wasnt worth the over $680 - The cleaners and stuff were awesome. Being put in a room next to team of boys wasn’t the best, the team were loud and had to tell them a number of time to shut up.
- Guillaume (10/5): -
- Nikau (10/5): -
- Guest (5/5): -
- Tara (5/5): - The loud noises from the people upstairs.
The sound of water running down the walls when upstairs had showers.
- Brigitta (9/5): - Das Personal. Die Grillmöglichkeit. Fehlendes Licht am Grill.
- Colin (7/5): - Location. Clean and had all we needed
- Chad (7/5): - Staff, facilities, and location was good.
- Vilma (9/5): -
- Brendon (8/5): Great place , love the communal type set up - Great communal type location at a great price and great location across the road from the river.
- Robert (8/5): -
- Mellissa (3/5): -
- DELWYN (10/5): This was the 2nd time we've stayed here and would stay again. - Everything we needed was supplied. Very roomy. Fountainview room had a large shower. So handy to town. Lovely being able to walk across the road and sit by Whanganui River. Maybe,the expel air above the shower could be cleaned.
- Sharp (8/5): Thank you very much for your hospitality. We will definitely stay again on my next visit to Wanganui - I was advised the payment transaction had not gone through. The owner kept the room available for us and the payment was made immediately on our arrival.
The Motel and our unit were perfectly located. The air conditioning unit was not working.
The outside lights were not working.
Neither of those two concerns were a problem to us at the time of our stay.
- Yvonne (7/5): Apart from hiccups above, was pleasant and on arrival, staff member assisted me with unloading my lu - Generally all okay, thanks. Bed very comfy. Unsure whether fridge worked though, as didn't appear to be plugged in anywhere?? Having to use a crutch, found distance from carpark to room quite a challenge. The steps were closer than the ramp to access my room.....
Also, I received at least 4 bites on my arms - hopefully they are only mosquito bites!! Did tell/show the cleaner, but she pointed to her mouth & then her ear, so I'm not sure whether she understood me or not....
Not having a kitchen sink I find a real challenge - unable to fill the electric jug directly from bathroom tap, plus no means to wash dishes so left unwashed. There was a dish cloth and tea towel provided, but no dishwashing liquid...
- Michael (6/5): Wouldn’t stay again. - King size bed. We booked this place as it has advertised there is a spa in the pool area. The spa is not working as we were advised after check in. Extremely overpriced for what we got.
- Sharlene (9/5): It served my purpose of an overnight stay, comfortable, I would stay again - Lovely and quiet A little outdated, probably a little maintenance on a couple of things in the room I stayed in,
- Lisa (7/5): -
- Ruth (10/5): - Comfortable, clean, friendly staff and a great location
- Kennedy (10/5): -
- Andreas Prölß (9/5): War überrascht und zufrieden. - Die größe des Zimmers, die Ausstattung und Preis- Leistungsverhältnis. Konnte meine Zimmertür von außen nicht absperren, eventuell habe ich auch den Mechanismus nicht verstanden.
- Winny (10/5): Great value for money in beautiful surroundings - Beautiful gardens and trees
- maree (7/5): -
- Patricia (6/5): Our stay was ok as only needed one night but it was comfortable. - The room and bed were comfortable and sheets and bedding clean and warm.
The shower pressure was great and hot water nearly instant.
Real milk was provided which was great. The building and units are a bit run down and the signs need updating as still advertise a restaurant.
- Matthew_NZ (7/5): Would stay again - The Riverview Suite was big and clean and the bed was comfortable. The place was cheaper than other places in Whanganui. Friendly staff The walls were thin so I could hear the road and everything the other guests were saying
- Mravicich (10/5): Annidon Lodge Motel - Staff were very helpful & accommodating The shared amenities
- Hayden (1/5): -
- Lynette (7/5): - Room had everything we needed for a comfortable 1 night stay
- Mathieu (6/5): - Le cadre est plutôt agréable. Les matelas mériteraient d'être changer et un bon rafraîchissement serait un plus.
- Carolien (8/5): -
- Adrian (8/5): - I was moved to a better room although without river view I ordered, however I was ok with change I had to let them know the smoke detector had been blocked, but it was fixed quickly, although it was clean the carpet was quite worn and there were nails or staples that held carpet down that were sticking up along edges and the were sharp, the room in general was a little "tired"
- Patricia (8/5): - The car parking and the swimming pool and the friendly atmosphere.
- Stephen Jonathon (8/5): -
- Dennis (9/5): - Clean and comfortable
- Nathaniel (7/5): -
- Reg (8/5): -
- Mila (9/5): - Nice place, friendly staff , clean, lots of parking Troubles with TV, couldn't make it work, had to ask staff for help. Couldn't make it work in the morning so just gave up
- John (8/5): - Nice rustic place in great location Toilet cistern leaking
- James (3/5): Will not recomend to friends - bed was ok kitchenette stocked well Room was out dated dull no air con only a fan gaps between glass and window frame, will not recomend to friends
TVin difficult viewing position. needs updating ,maintanace to make it brighter. Reception fair.
- Debbie (4/5): Good location opposite river but very tired accommodation which hasn't been kept updated at all - Location good, parking available, good sized shared kitchen, decent water pressure in showers Inadequate kitchen supplies (pans etc), no plug for kitchen sink, spa advertised but "hasn't worked for years", old uncomfortable couches in lounge areas, inconsistent temp on stove elements, tiny room for 2 people, tiny showers

- jasmine (5/5): -
- Jahrn (5/5): Okau - Not too bad of a place to stay, for 5 nights for 2 people is pretty compared to other places. Overall good stay. People were quite loud and had one group drinking right outside my window. People not washing their dishes properly and even taking our foods.
- Frank (8/5): Great+++ - Clean and friendly Close to town
- natalie (6/5): It was ok for the money - The pool Beds very uncomfortable
- Lainie (9/5): - The room was clean and contemporary. The free shuttle bus to the airport was greatly appreciated.
- Matt (10/5): We had a very good experience at the Anndion Motel. - Our room was lovely. It felt like being in our own home. We felt very relaxed and comfortable there. There was a big grass area outside, so it all felt very peaceful.
- Sandra (9/5): - I was upgraded to a Studio . It was a thoughtful surprise.
- Raj (10/5): -
- de silwa (5/5): -
- Claudette (1/5): - It was smelly The smell was putrid
- Purdie (7/5): -
- Wei (5/5): -
- TOMOKO (6/5): - 全体的に掃除などしっかりされている。キッチンは広くて整頓されており、調理用具の品揃えも良いので食事を宿で準備したい人には便利。ロケーションは川沿いで分かりやすく、景色も良い。 シングルベッドが小柄な自分でも驚くほど小さかった。
モーテルの部屋は少しだけで、どちらかと言うとホステルタイプの宿泊施設。
- Warren (8/5): -
- Kelli (1/5): An absolute nightmare - Swimming pool. BBQ area. Location. Parking. Messed up booking - not enough rooms for us, had to leave early. Had nowhere else to stay so had to travel back down south early - out of pocket for 12 people travelling back early on ferry. Had booked months in advance, then contacted TWICE to confirm the amount of people staying and the amount of units booked. Arrived late xmas eve and 5 of 12 of us had nowhere to sleep -everything else booked out. Slept on mattresses & top & tailed in 3 tiny rooms (with small children).
Rooms smelt like urine & vomit. Ornaments on shelves undusted & had dead flies in them.
Shared kitchen had nothing supplied, no plates, cutlery, cooking gear.
"units" were nothing like photos & need updating to reflect what they now look like.
Shower/bathroom facilities were really thick with black mould. Skirting boards thick with black grime - 1cm high.
No hot water - hot water lasted about 30 seconds only.
Toilets smelt really really bad.
Would definitely advise to book elsewhere
- Catherine (8/5): -
- Ross (10/5): Ticks all the boxes - Service and being able to pay with cash on arrival. I couldn't stay longer
- John (7/5): It was a late booking on a limited budget so adequate in a pinch. - It was clean and simple like the price suggested. The room was tiny and the walls were thin. Lots of acoustic bleed-through.
- Jackie (4/5): - tired, outdated furniture . Spa and sauna not working
- Marriott (7/5): -
- Adrian (2/5): Very disappointed, Did mange to move rooms away from the road. - Property has seen better days. Was more like a run down hostel than a motel, can’t possibly see it being used as a conference centre. and is sorely in need of renovation.
- Kay (6/5): A good place for Travellers on a budget. Make sure you bring everything you need! - The whole place was beautifully clean throughout. There was inadequate toilet rolls, handsoap, in the toilets and the place was full. Road noise made sleeping difficult, and no drinks at all supplied, no coffee, tea or milk.
- Louise (8/5): - Staff were very helpful with directions
- Ake (7/5): - The room was great clean will come back ❤️ Nothing it was what I needed
- Krysta (10/5): - Really comfy beds clean and staff were lovely
- Te Tau (10/5): -
- Simeon (8/5): - The room for a cheap price
- Ellie (2/5): Basic, staff rude, small bedroom - Basic, nice kitchen, nice lounge area. Small bedroom, staff rude.
- Craig (6/5): -
- Haami (5/5): -
- Villabona (8/5): -
- Neil (7/5): A good one - Friendly staff, showed us where everything was.
Great pool, we are not used to the heat.
Well equipped kitchen, private bathroom. Mould removed from shower sky light, I imagine this is info Ng as no window in bathroom.
Great wifi, could keep in contact with family.
- Kaia (7/5): -
- Paul (7/5): Great value, but noisy - Clean, great value for the room amenities Road noise was very noticeable. Avoid Rm 5 suite
