I had a wonderful stay at Warm on Waterloo. The room is part of a lovely home hosted by Hone and Maha — an incredibly kind and welcoming couple. I had some really interesting conversations with them, and they were always happy to help with anything I needed. Everything was clean and comfortable — the bed was especially cozy, and the room was spacious. I also enjoyed the breakfast, which was a nice bonus. Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a warm and genuine experience.

A charming self contained unit with all the amenities for a very comfortable stay in a quiet residential neighbourhood. The owners Jenny and Doug are lovely, welcoming hosts and we had great communication with them before and during our stay. Breakfast offerings were plentiful and delicious. We also loved meeting their 2 very cute pups!

    We were in PN because of treatment at the hospital for recently diagnosed cancer. On discharge from the hospital we choose to go to the cafe Thyme and Fig. We spotted a car park right outside the cafe. Perfect as my wife had a catheter in tow and was wearing her pyjama bottoms. When we had hydrated we decided to head home to Greytown. You guessed it- we got a parking fine. I'm afraid that soured our stay in PN. We were frassled and never thought about a parking infringement. There are no parking meters in Greytown so it certainly wasn't on our radar. I'm astounded that the fine is $70. That is steep for pensioners.

    Palmerston North, known to other New Zealanders as 'Palmy'...

    Palmerston North, known to other New Zealanders as 'Palmy' in a mildly disparaging way, is a surprising inland city. One striking thing is that nearly every street is tree-lined, with a range of beautiful mature trees. (Would be nice if more of them were native species though). This is because the local council has undergrounded all the services. Parks are great. One has an impressive miniature railway which kids love to ride (even if their parents/grandparents look a bit overscaled!) Massey University is in a beautiful setting, like a botanical garden, with many interesting buildings. I was there on a site visit as architect of the two major bridges on the soon-to-open Te Ara a Turanga 4-lane highway, SH3, which reconnects Palmerston North with Wairarapa/Hawkes Bay, after the old highway through the Manawatu Gorge had to be abandoned in 2017. The bridges and the shared walking/cycling path over the Tararuas is sure to become another tourist attraction in itself.

    Palmerston North has no night life.

    Palmerston North has no night life. Climate is windy and cold but can get some nice autumn weather . Has some street beggers who can be threatening. The malls have great shopping but are spoiled by nasty youth gangs who want to beat you up if you don't have smokes for them. The Square is nice but again ruined by teenage thugs and boy racers. Stay away from The Square after sunset. Great art gallery.

    Still nice shopping in the Mall and surrounding streets.

    Still nice shopping in the Mall and surrounding streets. Love KMart being open until midnight. Some empty shops, but that is everywhere at present. Square still looking nice with gardens, mature trees, nice grass areas. Good restaurants, lots of variety. But they need to keep their prices as they are or face going bankrupt. They cannot just keep putting up meal prices. People just won't go out. The Rose & Crown are a good restaurant and bar. They've kept their prices fair. The steak house (name not given but they specialise in steaks in the square) with the best steaks is just too expesive for ordinary people to eat there. Wonder if they'll last much longer... Other bars and eateries are all pretty good. Usually go for a walk along the riverside which is always nice. Didn't have time on this visit. Enjoyed the visit overall.

    I was there to catch up with family and we spent a lot of our time at the Esplanade, as the weather was great and we could participate in the activities and walk around the gardens etc. Cafe was great, mini golf and train etc.

    We had a particular reason to be in Palmerston North with the Speedway Team Champs on the main reason for our visit. Plenty to see, beautiful gardens and lots of eating places and socialising. Very easy to get around. Enjoyed Daytona with the Go Karting, always a hit with the lads of all ages.

    Never ever have I said this in a review, but we liked the big bed and we loved the linen. The sheets were thick, crisp and cool cotton. Another thing was thank goodness no heavy bedspread, just a duvet sandwiched between sheets, we hate heavy bedspreads at hotels/ motels. Never know with them how long ago they were laundered. We had had a day full of meetings and were tired this establishment was excellent although if I was really picky fresh milk in the fridge instead of long life milk would have been appreciated.

    Great property! Every room has comfortability in mind. With 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms there's plenty space for the whole family and some. Immaculately clean, beds were comfortable and our little one loved all the toys provided. Quite cheap considering the size of the home and location was great too. The host was awesome, keeping us informed throughout the check in and out processes. Would definitely recommended this home.

    It was one of the few motel properties that worked for our family of 5 in Palmerston North - really grateful that the bed in the lounge space was a proper bed and not just a fold out couch. The man at reception was very welcoming and had turned the heating on for us before arrival. Our kids loved the spa bath. The bathroom felt lovely and clean.
