• edwards (8/5): -
• Denise (10/5): -
• Janet (9/5): Very comfortable and relaxing - The property was a little old-fashioned but it had a full, well equipped kitchen.
• Peter (7/5): -
• Armelle (9/5): -
• Maik (7/5): - Es war alles da was wir benötigt haben. Die Unterkunft liegt fußläufig zur Innenstadt.
• Ross (8/5): - Friendly staff No issues
• Ben and Michele (7/5): Convienient location for 3 day visit for wedding over Easter weekend. - N/A Double bed was too small for tall people and mattress was lumpy. Would have been happier if it had been a queen size bed which is generally the standard these days.
• HELEN (9/5): -
• Carla (10/5): -
• Brian (9/5): -
• Bridget (8/5): - . .
• Jonecho (9/5): -
• Raewyn (5/5): - Lovely being right beside the river. Great to have full kitchen facilities. Bed was uncomfortable, too soft/springy. Poor water pressure especially in the shower.
• Graham (8/5): - A good older but roomy motel
• Lorna (7/5): Overnight stay - Very clean and tidy Would like to have stayed longer.
• Lynette (10/5): Most awesome place to stay! - Friendly and super helpful N/A
• Paweł (7/5): -
• Joanna (8/5): Perfect for what we needed. - Staff were great, facilities clean and tidy, great location.
• Alistair (8/5): - Close to river and nice outlook. Easy to get to attractions like Waimarie paddle steamer and Durie Hill elevator. Not too far from city centre. Unit had separate bedroom and large well equipped kitchen and living room. Nothing
• Meranea (10/5): Meranea room 3 - Management was very friendly, room was spacious and clean Everything was great not much to dislike.
• Helene (9/5): Super séjour ! - L'emplacement était face au fleuve, dont nous étions séparé par la route. Les pièces étaient spacieuses, la cuisine très bien équipée, avec des plaques de cuisson et un four. Les toilettes étaient séparés de la salle de bain, ce qui est appréciable. Le parking était gratuit et face à la chambre. Mention spéciale à notre petit visiteur félin nocturne, qui donne tout son charme au lieu ! La pièce principale était plutôt sombre, et sentait un peu l'humide. La télévision n'est pas une Tv connectée.
• Leanne (9/5): Great value for money. - Location overlooked the river. Close to plenty of restaurants. Cooking facilities available in room. Comfortable chairs to sit on rather than having to sit on the bed. Shower pressure wasn’t great. Bed was a great size but very soft mattress. This is a personal choice so may be ideal for some people.
• Sandra (10/5): A lovely unit with everything you could want for a night or more. - We were fortunate enough to be upgraded to a two-bedroom unit, which was fabulous. The amenities were top-notch. We couldn't fault a thing - comfortable beds and lounge, quality products in the bathroom. The place was immaculate. Quality magazines and photographic book on New Zealand to flick through was a great touch. No traffic noise. We just stayed one night so didn't get a chance to wander around the neighbourhood. Nothing. It was faultless.
• Mary (10/5): Very enjoyable! - Maintained exceptionally.great location. Nothing.
• Alison (8/5): - Provision of cook top for us to cook a meal ⁹
• Leigh & David (8/5): Convenient location for a good stay - Liked the fact that there was a fresh set of towels sitting in basket on the next day, which left a basket to place all used towels in. A fan would of been nice to help sleep
• Gary (8/5): -
• Barry (8/5): -
• Červenka (10/5): -
• Michael (9/5): Good family place to stay. Will stay again when in town. - Very quiet neighbourhood. Easy access by walking or car to town. Friendly staff. The rain.
• Mike (7/5): Pleasant stay. - Convenient Had an oven which was great. Very small TV in the room. 26”
• Jamie (8/5): - Nice place with 2 bedrooms unit. Will book again
• Struan (10/5): - Dated but had everything we needed. Lovely staff
• JENNIFER (10/5): - Comfortable unit and lovely riverside position. Very clean and spacious. Nice people at the desk. Didn't see any wifi connection but didn't matter to me at all.
• Adie (7/5): Whanganui - It was in a good position for town. The room was an OK place to stay, but don't expect too much.
• Shehan (9/5): Great -
• Roger (9/5): Good accomodation that is well worth returning to. - Good clean rooms with all the necessary facilities and ample room to move around in. A nice wide bed and good value for money. Nothing
• Tayler Baumber (9/5): -
• Catherine (1/5): -
• O'Connor (9/5): - Excellent location. Friendly welcome.

• Stephanie (7/5): -
• Guest (4/5): - Not much Needs a revamp The smallest tv didn't work 1/2 the time everything old
• Guyan (9/5): - Older type of motel with plenty of room Bed was too soft
• CHANTAL (7/5): - La route sépare le motel de la rivière. Nous ne sommes restés qu’une nuit. Chambre près de la route donc un peu bruyante. Ok pour une nuit. Ménage limite, réalisé autour des meubles sans les déplacer. Lino cuisine et salle de bain usé.
• Diana (8/5): - Great location, comfortable room, friendly staff.
• Les Gray (9/5): -
• Jacqueline (10/5): - Friendly welcome. Very comfy room. Had electric blankets... bonus!! Nothing..
• Nikki (8/5): -
• Adrienne (8/5): -
• Gary (8/5): Great location, clean and tidy, good value. - Excellent location. The room itself was good albeit a little dated with one or two things that do need attention, having said that it was suitable for our needs and was comfortable and clean. N/A
• Richard (7/5): Budget accommodation close to town - Walking distance to town centre and galleries Kitchen was tired
• Joyce (8/5): - Bed was comfy Couch felt old and a bit smelly.
• Charles (8/5): -
• Burt (8/5): - Great location. Lots of towels and flannels, fresh basket of linen and towels dropped off every day. We stayed for two nights. Staff are super friendly and accommodating. We would stay again. Unfortunately had an ant problem ruined some of the kids food. But staff bought over some fly spray for a quick fix which helped. They are getting on to that 😀
• Hazel (7/5): -
• Liz (7/5): -
• Catherine (8/5): - Great location opposite river
• Val (8/5): -
• Betina (2/5): - Der var beskidt, der var myrer i soveværelser, kakkelakker på badeværelset. Det er slidt og kan ikke kategoriseret som 3 stjernet. Desværre tog vi ingen billeder. Dem som vises ved booking, stemmer overhovedet med i alt fald det værelse vi fik. Vil absolut ikke anbefale det.
• Jill (9/5): Cosy and comfortable in a great location for river walks. - Spacious - able to host our family for dinner. Well set out. Comfortable big bed. For the price everything was ok. We found there was no hot water when we arrived but the manager flicked switch in the circuit box and we soon had hot water and no further problems.
• Charlotte (10/5): -
• Graham (9/5): All was good for the price - Easy access, well managed property with all expected amenities Water pressure was low in the shower. Mismatched cutlery
• Geoff (8/5): -
• jenny (5/5): Was good enough I need serious renovating. - Price and location Only one PowerPoint in the kitchen which meant balancing the toaster and the jug on top of the fridge it’s very dated and tired
• Helen (8/5): Pleasant, convenient and Todd value. - Good value, tidy and convenient Quite a lot of road noise.
• Richard (8/5): -
• Horst-Dieter (7/5): Für eine Nacht auf jeden Fall - Wir nutzen das Motel nur für eine Nacht, da wir einen Zwischenstopp benötigen. Unser Aufenthalt war kurz, aber gut, weil wir alles vorfanden, um z.B. unser Frühstück zu bereiten.
• Cameron (10/5): Thank you for your hospitality, very nice stay ☺️ -
• Rachel (5/5): -
• Annie (8/5): Fab stay in Whanganui - motel good value and great location - Location was great - friendly staff and very clean No hairdryer and decor a little dated.
• Sara (10/5): Excellent value for money with fantastic friendly hosts as a bonus - The location is excellent and very easy to find. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was a nice start to the day. We felt the accommodation was excellent value for money and would happily stay there again if the opportunity arose. The accommodation is a little dated and the TV was a little smaller than expected so for some people this may be unappealing but we loved it and thought it was well reflected within the cost of the accommodation and overall great value for money.
• Jennifer (8/5): -
• Dr Margaret Lockhart (8/5): -
• Lynne (8/5): -
• warwick (6/5): - only 1 heater for 2 rooms
• Dirk (8/5): - spacious, good location small bathroom
• Andrew (5/5): - We were in a family apartment and it was very large. They were generous with towels and pillows. The location was great and the river walk was just across the road. It was dirty and the furnishings were old and slightly grimy. The kitchenette floor was sticky. They had a very small TV with only local channels. There were ants in the kitchen and on the tables.
• Tania (10/5): - This is my most favourite place to stay when I’m in Whanganui. Excellent location with the river just across the road and very close to the main part of town. Big rooms and very comfortable beds. It has always been quiet when I have stayed and amazing staff, super friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend
• Johan (7/5): Goed verblijf bij chagrijnig intimiderend volk - Het bed was prima. Een goede nachtrust is zeker op vakantie een must. De vrouw bij de receptie kon onze tweede boeking niet vinden en bood zonder zoeken een wat mindere studio aan als alternatief terwijl we boekingnummers en creditcardafschrijvingen bij de hand hadden. Bij het uitchecken de volgende ochtend troffen we haar man die zei dat dit onze schuld was want wij hadden voor de 2e boeking een andere gastnaam opgegeven (logisch toch). Daar had zijn vrouw naar kunnen vragen, en zoveel huisjes waren er ook weer niet. Toen we dat zeiden kregen we op een onvriendelijke en dreigende toon te verstaan dat we maar beter konden vertrekken. Zeker ook omdat wij bij het inchecken onvriendelijk tegen zijn vrouw zouden zijn geweest. Nou ja zeg! Wat een hork was dit. Pure vakantiepretbederf.
• Elriza (7/5): Convenient location - Spacious room. Ants in the kitchen.
• Yunze (10/5): -
• Janine (6/5): Great stay for short visit. - Good location No fans or air conditioning
• Yasmine (2/5): While the room was clean, the facilities were old, 70s style. Definitely not 5 stars - Room was clean, very old facilities The property manger was a very rude man
• Johan (6/5): Zeer onvriendelijke gastheer - Het bed De wat agressieve benadering van de gastheer. Bij aankomst kon zijn vrouw onze tweede boeking niet vinden. We hadden namelijk 2 kamers besproken. Ze deed daar ook geen moeite voor maar bood direct een wat mindere studio aan als alternatief. Ik gaf haar beide boekingsnummers en liet op mijn creditcard de beide afschrijvingen zien maar dat mocht niet baten. Bij het uitchecken troffen we haar man die zei dat het onze eigen schuld was dat zijn vrouw de 2e boeking niet kon vinden omdat we daarbij de naam van ons gezelschap hadden gebruikt. Daar had ze dus ook gewoon naar kunnen vragen. Ook zouden wij onaardig tegen haar geweest zijn. Toen we aangaven deze gang van zaken niet fijn te vinden werden we door deze man dreigend en dringend verzocht te vertrekken. Dat kan écht niet.
• MR PAUL ASHWORTH (8/5): - The location is great. Its a short riverside walk into the town. There is a parking spot allocated to you outside your room. The rooms are a little dated but have everything that you need
• Pam (8/5): -
• Launa (9/5): - Great location, Awesome staff/owners, Huge rooms, exceptionally clean. Great value for money
• suzanne (8/5): -
• Ronel (10/5): -
• Geoffrey Russel (8/5): -
• Michael (9/5): - A good size apartment and a good location
