Friendly staff, got upgraded to a bigger room with a bigger kitchen. Facilities were great, comfy beds, good shower pressure. Very clean

Carlene New Zealand

Staff offered me an upgrade to the room with kitchen. Very clean and organized room. Staff really kind and helpful.

Matheus New Zealand

Exceptionally clean room, with a very comfortable bed. Excellent shower pressure with plentiful hot water. Great value for money. This will be my first choice whenever I need accommodation in Whanganui.

Louise New Zealand

Leeann was so helpful. Phoned is when room was ready as we arrived early

James New Zealand

Very pleasant and convenient location overlooking river, comfortable, clean, serviced daily...plenty of room for children to run around free of driveways, pleasant service and good value for money. Would definitely stay again.

Anne New Zealand

Good location for city exploration on our bikes. Staff are very nice and accommodating

Dennis New Zealand

Bed was really comfortable and a good shower. I was travelling as a quick overnight for work, so to be honest, view and facilities were secondary to a decent bed and shower and offroad parking for the car. And this place is perfect for that

Jon-brian New Zealand

We liked the cleanliness, the location and the beautifully folded towels - they were an added surprise.

Narelle New Zealand

We are traveling New Zealand for our 20th wedding anniversary. The staff was available and attentive, I asked for a bit of help with romantic room prep before we got there. Our communications were great, I had arranged for flowers and a nice bottle of wine to be placed in the room. When we got in the room smelled like the roses that he had picked from the gardens and the bottle was there as well. it was a lovely stay.
