★★★★ 8.8 (90 reviews)

"Arrived into Whanganui and found the hotel easily. After checking in, very easily, we went to our room. Not sure how old the hotel is, but the hall way & guest lounge very 1920’s with modern touches - comfortable & elegant. Our room was another elegant room with lovely touches accenting the period of the property. Though looking “old” the bed was extremely comfortable. The bathroom was huge with a corner whirlpool bath, as well as a shower too. We ate in the restaurant that evening & both of us had a lovely meal. Great stay & definitely recommend it."

"Comfortable, clean and well appointed rooms with all you need for a weekend getaway. Rooms are as shown on website, good supply of decent (Dilmah) tea and milk as well as coffee. Beds very comfortable. Beds were extremely comfortable and black out curtains meant for great sleeping. Super friendly and helpful staff and a business who has facilities and systems for recycling and considering the environment. Fantastic location for walking to shops, cafes, Saturday markets and restaurants. Will stay again."

Asure Cooks Gardens Motor Lodge ★★★★
"We really enjoyed our stay at this motel - it was basic but met all our needs. Very clean. Comfortable beds and walking distance to town. The hosts were so friendly and welcoming and there were lovely personal touches such as fudge on arrival - very thoughtful. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others."

Anndion Lodge Motel & Conference Centre ★★★★
"It's a really great place, comfy and cozy. The little veranda was cold in the morning but with the curtains, we didn't feel it at all in the room. As our room was more at the back and not so close to the road, we also didn't hear the traffic at all. Really nice accommodation."

Aotea Motor Lodge ★★★★★
"The grandfathers and grandmothers at the front desk are very enthusiastic, the oversized jacuzzi, the parking space is just right, can stop. There are also many Chinese restaurants in the town, which is very good as the middle station for self-driving."
