The location to the Whanganui River/ right across the road. The kitchen was well equipped. Microwave, fridge, cooking facilities. Plates/cups etc. The unit was clean and tidy. Plenty of room in the unit.

Very good place right on the River front and close to town. Friendly staff and had everything we needed. Older place and was a wee bit tired looking but good value for money. Would certainly stay here again.

Arrived after 7pm to find all the windows still open and cold. The heater in the room is very small and took a whole to heat up the size of the 1 bedroom room.

While the rooms are an excellent size and meticulously clean, the interiors and furnishings are aged or tired. Also as an observation, if staying in winter, the rooms take a while to warm up. This is due to the size of the room (not a bad thing) and the high ceiling with the exposed beams (also not a bad thing). Just be prepared to wait.

Staff & service was excellent. The area was excellent in terms of location. Great river walks , shopping.cafes, markets,town centre all within walking distance or a very short drive. Building a little dated the only negative but everything else more than atones.

Very nice property, newly renovated bathroom. Clean, older style kitchen area but clean and has a stove with oven. Everything we needed for a three night stay. Nice space and view of the river from patio doors. Easy walk to attractions. Busy street but quiets down at night. Would recommend!!

An average place to stay
This motel could do with some modernising and upgrading. A fan in the shower room would be useful, to prevent moisture on mirrors. It had enough comfort to make it reasonable, but could do with a few extras, such as Sky channels on TV. Being in a unit right next to a busy road was also less pleasant.
