Well located motel and comfortable apartment

Has become our motel of default when staying at Whanganui. Everything we need and well located for town centre, river and restaurants. A friendly reception and having the heater turned on a cool evening a nice touch.

The room was very clean and tidy. There was everything we needed in the room. The bed and pillows were really comfortable. The staff were lovely, very friendly and helpful. In fact we left something behind, which we have arranged to be couriered to us, after we received a call. This motel is in easy walking distance to town. We would definitely consider staying here again.

A nice clean motel, friendly staff. Slightly away from the main drag which makes it quiet overnight. But still easily walkable to the centre. Recommended.

Has become our home from home on visits to Whanganui. The apartment has everything we need and is well located near the centre of town. It's nice to get a friendly welcome too with the heater turned on pre-arrival on a cool evening.
