    the location of the motel is fantastic, very central and close to the supermarket, the river, and town. It's convenient being only 2 km away from main attractions like the New Zealand Glassworks Gallery.

    Everyone who works at the hotel is super-friendly and nice. the location is very central. - the service is terrific and includes easy onsite parking. - It is a good choice for a weekend in Whanganui, plus it is just a 5-minute drive from an underground elevator.

    Nice roomy unit. Bedrooms separated, which meant privacy for those in each bedroom. Nice thick towels.

    This hotel in Wanganui exceeded our expectations in several ways. the location was fantastic, right by the river. We loved being able to walk across the road and enjoy the beautiful riverside scenery. The spacious rooms were another highlight, with a comfortable bed and an okay kitchen, which came in handy for a quick meal. We were also pleasantly surprised by the friendly and clean atmosphere throughout the hotel, making us feel right at home. Additionally, the breakfast provided was delicious and just what we needed to start our day.

    All was great, no improvements necessary.

    Great location by the river and close to shops, which made it convenient for exploring. The town center was just a stone's throw away 😊. I got a room with lovely views of the park, and the bathroom was practical and clean.
