The property is around thirty minutes walk to the town centre. I loved walking everywhere so it wasn’t a problem for me. Wouldn’t worry anyone with a car. The bed was comfortable and the rooms more spacious than most. The owners gave me a ground floor unit as I am an old lady and have difficulty carrying bags up stairs. They were very pleasant and helpful if I needed it. I was able to do everything I planned to do and more and thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Wanganui.

I loved the service from the owner. What an absolute pleasure it was to be greeted with warmth, positivity, and the greatest smile. The recommendations for restaurants were a win as well and very much appreciated. The room was also spacious and great. Loved the location, so close to all arterial routes. I took videos opposed to photos of the room, so I can't share them, but we were more than happy. We will definitely stay here again.

I have stayed there lots of times and usually stay about 5 nights. I like that the downstairs room I usually have has a view of an outside lawn area. I love walks along the river, just across the road, from the motel. Very friendly and helpful manager/s and other housekeeping. Well located. Short drive to town or walkable. Great it has laundry facilities and an outside drying line.

Susan

It was an amazing stay, with all that we needed, and we would definitely stay here again! The unit was clean and tidy, and we were surprised with the amount of space. The children were able to space themselves out, yet not get in the way of anyone. Everything we needed (toaster, jug, coffee etc) was supplied, and everyone enjoyed their stay.

Karen

Very spacious one bedroom unit in a traditional comfortable Kiwi motel. Very clean bathroom and kitchen and comfy bed. Great location on the river - quiet but only 5 minutes walk to town. Perfect for our needs and we appreciated the early check in and the very helpful managers. Good value for money.
