Fourth time at this accommodation and when I drove in, I instantly noticed how this property has been renovated and the parking areas cleaned up with the parking spaces clearly marked for each unit! There is even a charging station for E.V's. The interior was tastefully decorated with lovely linen and spotlessly clean. The hosts are absolutely lovely and nothing is too much trouble for them. Thank you for all the thought that has gone into making ones stay very pleasant. Highly recommend.

Everything, spotlessly clean, crisp sheets. Netflix and little kitchen. Everything I needed and more. The owners are exceptional, preparing the room with heater on. Checking on you that everything is OK. They even turned up at my door with a bath bomb for me to relax as I was on crutches with a hip injury. This little touches make all the difference.
That I wasn’t staying longer!

Awsome place to stay. Location was close to town , rooms were so clean you could smell it was clean when you walked in and neat and tidy. We were in wanganui for a birthday and was so clsoe to the venue. The family basically booked out the whole motel.The owners were so nice they mingled with all our family we loved them . Got to know both of them and we will definitely stay again. Big ups to there staff as well for keeping this place so neat and tidy. Price was reasonable as well.i rate this accommodation 11 out of 10 best place we have found to stay in Wanganui. Number 1 on my list thats for sure.

This is a wonderful motel, it was our second stay there. The place is very clean and tidy and well laid out. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful and went out of their way to assist if needed. Will definitely stay there again if rooms are available next time in Whanganui.
Nothing to dislike.

The room was comfortable, well-equipped, clean, and a good size. The spa bath was lovely! The staff were friendly, helpful, and competent. The motel had all the facilities we needed, including a free guest laundry, and more than enough in terms of amenities. Most of the windows opened for ventilation and there was also a heatpump. The location was convenient for the town centre, and a little noisy in the morning because of traffic, but it was probably one of the best motels I have ever stayed in.
Traffic noise at rush hour (not too bad, though)

The rooms were clean and very comfortable. Everything we needed was there and the staff were incredibly friendly and personable. When we arrived the owner was incredibly welcoming and told us places to visit, things to do and where to eat dinner. She was an exceptional host. Would definitely stay again!
