Location was on a busy road but once we were in the room you barely noticed it. Some improvements/renovation was ongoing so slightly in a building site but nothing too onerous. Room was really comfortable and well equipped. Swimming pool was a bit tired but was ok for a dip in the sun.

We were told on arrival that they were fully booked and the manager didn’t know how we were allowed to book the stay through Booking.com, we are so glad and grateful that the manager was able to shuffle some other guests around so we could have a room

The room was very comfortable with superior facilities. The location was just beside the lovely river sidewalks. Host Rory was very kind and helpful. I missed his instructions for checking in and phoned him up. After his explanation I got into my room without problem. Yet he still showed up within a few minutes to see we were ok. Really appreciated it.

Wonderful place to stay, very comfortable and Allie was brilliant. Room and bathroom are a very good size, clean and modern. Huge choice of drinks in the room. After staying in motels for most of our trip, it was great to have peace and quiet! Lovely continental breakfast with muesli, fresh fruit and toast and choice of preserves. Easy parking on the road outside.

    The rooms were spacious, well maintained and extremely clean. They had everything as promised and matched the pictures. As a standard, they provide a small kitchenette in room with cutlery, microwave, mini fridge and a coffee set. The room had a heater, air conditioner, television and also a working jacuzzi. Fresh towels were provided with amenities except a shaving kit. The wardrobe had a hair drier and iron with iron board. The staff were extremely friendly and kept a good eye for anything left behind post check-out. Room has instruction manual for everything, including the air conditioning and all electronic equipment. A small booklet was provided with guide to Whanganui. The property is placed at a perfect location, right next to major supermarkets and fuel stations, the Whanganui town is about 15mins walk from the location. Although there is no restaurant on-site, fast food joints are right next to it within walking distance and so is Whanganui town as mentioned.

    The property is in excellent condition and the room was spacious. We can confirm all the other reviews that say the bed is very comfortable :-). The area is very quiet and yet within walking distance from the main street, where one can find decent restaurants and a couple of nice coffee shops (the mischief café is highly recommended). Best of all, the couple managing the motel are extremely friendly and helpful, and we had a couple of very pleasant chats with them. Thank you for making our stay all the more pleasurable!

    The lady at the reception is so kind to give us the room overseeing the Rotorua River. Bed is comfortable. The heater helped us to better cope with the cold evening. A lot of parking space.

    The Whanganui Museum and the Sergeant Gallery are both worthy of extended visits, they are a highlight for any visitor to the area. The small arts and crafts galleries are interesting and innovative; some very fine and quirky cafes enrich the experience - for any visitor, Whanganui is now one of the most satisfying cultural locations in NZ.

    Due to a flooding warning, I canceled my trip. Unfortunately, the motel did not meet expectations. I was told by the staff not to come again because they "don’t like my type." I will certainly not be staying there in the future.

    We went to a roast place for dinner on Saturday night, got a large and shared it, it was ample for the two of us. We were for a Dog Agility event so did not do any sightseeing, but when visit I always think the place would be a great place to live.

    Very nice town with plenty of places to eat. We visited the local RSA and the people there were very friendly, also very helpful. The meal we had was very good and the drinks very reasonable. Also had a meal and drink at the Golf club again very friendly and the service great.
