Beautiful, quiet location with friendly hosts and a generous breakfast. The guest house is behind the host's house at enough distance that you have privacy. The spa tub was a nice bonus.

It was worth staying here, very nice rooms. If you love classic but still modern, this is the place to be and sleep. Nice shower good beds (mattress was not too hard not to soft just perfect) I did love the classic lounge that was taking care off nice and tidy. You can have a nice walk outside. There are some funny (jersey) cows. Nice host very friendly

A bit off the normal tourist track - but well worth the stop over. Great coffee and toasties at Franks restaurant. Lovely Main Street to look at the shops. A large variety of antique shops. The river is very nice to walk along as well.

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.

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.

Loved Whanganui - wonderful galleries, Saturday market, cafes with excellent coffee, locally owned independent shops, friendly locals and so much history. Great river walkway/cycle path. Lots to see and do in Whanganui and local region.

I really like Whanganui & have visited often.

I really like Whanganui & have visited often. The city centre is lovely & there aren't food shops all over the place. This time I bought stuff from the supermarket to eat but I know some of the cafes are good. There should be a register of decent New Zealanders who respect motels so that they are looked after properly when they book for a visit. Some of the reviews appear to be vetted to show only good stuff. Unfortunately, the motels I know are good are usually booked out. There are now 2 in Whanganui I won't be going back to.

Staff went over and above to accommodate my stay. Loved the little extras and personalise instructions in my room and couldn’t believe my room was serviced daily for a stay of 2 nights. Would recommend this motel to anyone and if I need accommodation again in Whanganui, will definitely stay there, thank you.
