Lovely room, welcoming staff. We ate in the pub in the evening as well as the continental breakfast. Both were delicious with good portions. Parking was easy once we’d located the car park! Wouldn’t hesitate to return.

A heritage building that has been recently restored. Rooms are large, lots of native timber used. We had dinner and breakfast, both of which were excellent. Great selection of craft beer in the pub.

The rooms met the old-world charm expected of a hotel of its age. The food and staff were both fantastic & welcoming, with the added advantage of booking meals & drinks to my room. Recommended as the place to stay in Wanganui.
