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.

Travelling from Kerikeri, wanting accomodation for my dog as attending a unveiling the next day. Very accommodating to what time we came in or out plus the frequent dog walks.

The accommodation was excellent with everything we needed. The garden and surroundings were beautiful and the hosts were very attentive, kind and friendly and offered help at any time. The breakfast was excellent and they provided us with decaf coffee which was lovely. We loved our stay.

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.

The superb breakfast reminded me of the Savoy the way it was presented. The home is tastefully decorated. This property and hospitality was therefore above my expectations. The chocolate by the bedside which I noticed as I got into bed showed me these people love their business.

    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 2 bedroom deluxe and garden studio were nice and spotless. There was a small fridge and a full size stove and oven in the 2brm with a modern bathroom. The shower was an older style in the studio. Location was fantastic by the river. Highly recommend.

    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.
