Great location - so easy to see most of Whanganui without getting in a car. Hotel is in a historic building so older but amenities were fine. The restaurant connected to the property is very popular so reservations were required on weekends. Food was pub menu but quite tasty. We would stay here again. Thank you.

The hotel had a lovely homely feel to it. The furnishings were generally of days gone by but that all added to the charm of the property. The staff were all friendly and attentive. The area around was full of interesting features, even on a Sunday evening. The Durie Hill Elevator has to be visited.

This was such a lovely experience! Very friendly staff, beautiful vintage feel, clean and well kept! Excellent beer and steak in the bar below, and they even offer a complementary breakfast, we had the muesli which was homemade and delicious! The only room for improvement is that the water pressure in the shower is low.. But aside from that everything was just lovely! Will definitely come back again!
