Guest Reviews

Location, cleanliness, comfort, and going above and beyond to accommodate despite being fully booked

Clare P - April 2022, Trip Advisor

This really is a lovely motel. It is situated on a quiet street but very close to the town centre. Everything in the CBD is walkable. The rooms are modern, spacious and very clean, the new carpet is lovely. I must also mention that the last minute addition to our parties number was accommodated with a larger room/ and bed to fit this extra party member when we would have been happy with making do, all the more kind as the motel was fully booked on the night in question. It was kind of the owners to make this possible thank you. I highly recommend this motel should you need a nice and comfortable place to rest up in Whanganui

Everything was great about this motel, so pleased to stay as had the best night sleep so far on our holiday. Easy to walk to everything - restaurants, grocery store, sites, cbd. The grounds at motel immaculate and the room was updated, fresh and just a great place to recharge

Clean and comfortable motel near the main parts of town

AllaninSpain - February 2023, Trip Advisor, United Kingdom

The motel was well furnished with what appeared to be new carpeting with comfortable reclining chairs. Comfortable bed, spotlessly clean and about 10 minute walk to the main sights. Sandra and John were very helpful and friendly

Solid dependable choice

Was able to book at short notice for my uncle and aunty who were from out of town. The room was exactly as described and as the pictures showed. The room was much larger than the pictures showed as well.

Great stay

Room very clean and organised.

A real gem…

Just a few minutes walk away from the CBD, this is a real gem. A pleasure to stay in. Clean, roomy and reasonably priced with plenty of room for parking. Owners are very helpful with tips for visiting.

Comfortble Motel

Stayed at this Motel while down at the big smoke for work. The room was well appointed and warm. It was spotlessly clean which was very much appreciated.

The Motel is one block back from the main drag but in close walking distance to main Supermarkets and other shops.

What a gem…

Last minute booking and had never stayed here before. Very pleasantly surprised, from the moment I made the booking over the phone, till we left. The unit was lovely, with 2 reclining chairs in lounge and Netflicks on tv. Heat pump and large ceiling fan also. Carpet was lovely and thick and very clean.

Seperate bedroom, Bed super comfy and lots of pillows, large bathroom with great fan in, so the mirror never fogged up! And there was a large tea pot!! Super service and lovely hosts, will be our place to stay next time in Whanganui. Thank you for a lovely stay.
