Hotels With Spa in Manawatu-Wanganui, New Zealand

The hotel has very friendly staff, there is an option to rent hiking and skiing equipment, the rooms have their own bathrooms, and some basic kitchen things, such as plates, are provided in the rooms. An option of a whirlpool is also nice. Just be careful that the views from the rooms on the pictures only applies to the rooms on the side down from the hill. The side up to the hill, such as where we had our room, faces a parking lot with facility's background. I visited the place in December and at that time, there was no vegetable at breakfast buffet, just some canned fruit. I would have very much appreciated some veggies. Other than that, you are close to the national park with a lot of hiking trail options around, especially if you have a car.

We loved our stay at the Copthorne Palmerston North, the bed was so comfortable and the room exceeded our expectations of cleanliness, so thank you. This was our second weekend in a row in Palmerston North and unfortunately we made the mistake of staying at another hotel the weekend before and was so disappointed as it had been a rather expensive place, thinking it would be of excellent quality but no, hats off to the Copthorne. We couldn’t fault them at all, we will be returning there always.

Neat place to stay. The king pods have everything you could need and the bath outside - what a bonus after a four day tramp. Soaking in hot bubbles bliss. Great staff. Very accommodating staff, super friendly and happy to go the extra mile to make your stay easy peasy lemon squeezy!!

This is our favorite motel in the North Island and we have stayed 6 times now. The spa studio room is nice and roomy, with great area for suitcases off the floor which saves our backs. The bed is super large and super comfy. The spa was super relaxing. Plenty of hot water, and the plunger coffee was a lovely addition. Lovely friendly service staff. Highly recommended to anyone looking for the same experience. Thanks to the owners.

Pre booked this (partly on the basis they had a sauna) while we were in NZ for the FIFA World Cup. On arrival we were told no sauna as somebody put water on the rocks and wrecked it. Really? Room was freezing as no double glazing on windows and heater mounted on ceiling so has to run at full power to heat the room. On a plus side the room is clean and bed comfortable and the beds have electric blankets so you won’t get hypothermia through the night. Also the motel is located in between the two distinct restaurant and pub districts in town so it’s an easy walk between the two areas.

Stayed for the second time! The room given this time is on the second floor, so it is quieter and feels brighter and cleaner. There is milk, butter biscuits, everything is simple and comfortable, very close to the park, the bus stop is at the door, next time you go to Beipa, it is still the first choice.

I stayed in the lodge over a weekend since they were the cheapest in the area. They are about a 10-25 walk to the Ohakune information center so still quite close to town. The lodge has four people rooms but I was able to get one to myself. I booked online and did a self check in since I arrived late at night. the reception is located near the rear of the property, keep an eye out for the signs. They have a fairly large lodge with a drying room, kitchen and spa. There is quite a bit of parking on the property but it can get quite cramped particularly when there are larger vehicles there. There are two driveways so you can loop around if one way is a bit tight. Be wary that you do need your own towels in the lodge. Although the rooms are a bit dated, it is still a good value for money and has all the things you would need for a stay. They also have motel rooms available.

No staff on site. We were the only people staying and it felt unsafe. Doors to the building were unlocked and open to anyone to enter. The contact 'Mike' was in the Philippines, and was unhelpful. We were given the wrong room. Booked a family room for 5 with a bunk bed, double bed and a single. The single bed was a bunk on top of the double. Not suitable for our friend over 6ft tall. Mike said that was the right room. We initially wanted the family room with ensuite but were told that wasn't available (weird, since no one else was there). Room wasn't clean, there was an m&m on the floor. Female bathrooms had chopped hair in the sinks. People came in as 'cleaners' when we popped to the shops for 10 minutes. Apparently stayed in the house behind the lodge and felt like they waited for us to leave before coming inside. Sneaky and rude - didn't introduce themselves earlier when we were at the lodge all afternoon. They appeared to be tourists, probably working illegally. The lodge was 15degrees the entire time. We were cold from the walk and messaged Mike saying we were cold and asked for some wood for the fire. He said fire doesn't work and 15 degrees was a 'good temperature', the central heating kicked in only when the temp dropped below 13 degrees. Didn't help us further. It was warmer outside. There were no extra blankets offered. Spa wasn't working and probably hasn't for ages. Showers were hot and kitchen appliances worked fine - the only positives really. Overall, a poor stay.

The only problem we had was the room was double booked for what ever reason . We require a refund for the second room as it was cancelled by the Coachman.

We were a group of 8 women so needed 4 rooms, each with 2 beds in. The rooms were perfect for us. The beds were very comfortable and the pillows also. Everything in the room, kitchenette and bathroom was very clean - when we walked in, it smelt clean. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Location was very central to the cbd. Amazing value for money - would highly recommend.

So Quiet!. Even though right next to a service station this motel was very quiet and the coffee from the BP was actually very good. Could not fault the clean crisp sheets and plenty of room in the Tons of Sky Sport but there’s no movie channels. An easy fix if you remember your Netflix password. Very happy with our stay

Booked this motel through Webjet with after pay, it was such an easy process, Called to see if they received my booking & it was confirmed. I paid a security deposit of $200 as I don't have a credit card and this was returned back to me upon checkout. The staff was Super Lovely I wish they came like that everywhere!! Spa was So amazing I stayed in there nearly the whole evening. The only thing that stuck out was the noise of the vehicles you can hear few beeps and burnouts with the windows closed, but it didn't really bother me as I'm from Auckland and live next to a motorway.

Very helpful and supportive for having to extend my stay, without much warning.l, due to hospital appointments. Clean and cosy studio unit which was suitable for my needs. Cafe Zest is a superb Cafe with menu items for Gluten-free customers and also willingness to find out ingredients in foods offered. Great coffee always 😋

What a fantastic place to stay. Very clean modern rooms and close to the centre of Palmerston North. Shopping mall just across the road. Great hosts who made us feel welcome. It was a very pleasant stay and will be on the top of our list for places to stay when we return.

Picked this place as it was significantly cheaper than others this close to town. The male who checked us in was not good, unfriendly, didn't tell us where our room was, stared us from upstairs as we went out which was creepy. The room was really clean (apart from plastic left on the floor). The 2nd day service was terrible. No beds made, no soap replaced,no face cloths replaced, used towel not taken, left cleaning spray bottle in our bathroom. Appreciated they did our dishes which we didn't expect them to. The file about the room was sososo sticky the pages inside stuck together. The shower pressure was terrible! Nice hot water though. Loved that we could fit five of us in one room! Three singles in the bedroom & a queen in the lounge. Comfortable beds & bedding but had to ring for another blanket (& soap) as everyone was cold with the sheet & super thin duvet only. No electric blankets provided. Super comfy couch. Despite other reviews re this we found it really quiet & it had good black out curtains. Little touches like matching light bulbs the same shade & color & repairing the bedside unit are cheap & make a big difference. Wouldn't not recommend, it's well priced, a good location just let down by service in all areas.

Great location, easy to find Cuba Street directly off Main Street. Motel located opposite stadium. Appreciated that they accommodated request for upstairs room and were okay with possible late arrival. Have stayed previously, obvious current owners have continued to update and improve facilities (new carpet, I think, and bigger TVs) Very clean, most importantly no trace of previous occupants, just a couple of spots that need attention....on carpet (looks like a spilage) and corner of spa bath (bit of mould) and walls by TV in need of repaint after repair. (I had first room in corridor, upstairs) ...otherwise perfectly clean. Disappointed not to have the recliners but understand that they may have to the end of their useful life. Would have liked to have had breakie out on deck but no table, (just 2 chairs), a small table would be very useful addition. Bed in this room not as comfortable as previous stays, maybe needs a topper. Air conditioning was great. Book direct with motel to get best rate.

Hello to the hotel staff at reception, thank you soo much ,for your kindness and warm welcome. You very polite and very helpful. The rooms were fabulous and I just loved the kitchen ...as it saved me from buying takeaway which I dislike as it's unhealthy and expensive...my kids n.my husb ...we ALL LOVE HOME COOKED MEALS ,ESP when on a vacation.God bless you my dear for being so supportive ..

Snow man spa and massage was absolutely fantastic. Experience staff who made you feel relaxed and comfortable. Would recommend this to anyone living here or visiting. A hidden gem. Excellent package deals which you can purchase for yourself or makes the perfect gift 🎁. Definitely going back.

A group of us stayed in the chalet. It was comfortable and great for a group. A short stroll to the powderhorn for dinner. Friendly hosts. There were a couple of minor issues that they fixed straight away. Happy to recommend as a great spot to base you and your friends for an Adventure weekend in Ohakune. Winter or summer. And check out the local takeout The Blind Finch - for the best burgers, pies and danishes!!

My husband and I stayed on a two night package which included a private room with ensuite, cooked breakfasts, Old Coach Road Trail transfers to Horopito and use of the spa pools. Due to urgent surgery and an eight week recovery recovery, we had to postpone our break away for two months and Steve was understanding and helpful when I contacted him and was happy to extend the deal until my husband had recovered. Our room was cosy, clean and comfortable and there was a clear view of Mount Ruapehu from the deck - we sat and watched the sunset and the colours reflected on the snowy mountain - it was magic. The breakfasts were made while we waited and delivered to our table hot and fresh. The staff were helpful and happy to go the extra mile. The lock up storage facility for our bikes was an added bonus and everything was in walking or biking distance so we didn't need to use the car. All in all this is a great place to stay with friendly and helpful staff.
