The location suited our own personal needs for travelling by car in Whanganui, but generally too far to walk to facilities like cafes, restaurants, etc. Parking good. An older style of timber construction, but room very comfortable. Had spare bedroom we didn't use. Small practical kitchenette.

Ensuite bathroom area was rather small, and a tight squeeze. But worked OK. I always struggle with the TV remotes (2), and figuring out how to get from SKY back to Ch 1,2,3. No instructions for this. Outdoor timber steps could be slippery in wet weather. Not sure if has wheelchair access, (though not required by us).

Convenient location to ride the bike trails and very close to the CBD and shopping area. Able to safely store and lock our bikes on the undercover porch. Small kitchen with a microwave and a separate double hotplate was a bonus. Lovely Vista of the setting sun. Able to sit on the porch in the sun after a long day riding. Room was clean and tidy. Quiet neighbours. Didn't hear the traffic at night even though on a main road. Lots of room for 2 and used the bedroom with single beds as luggage storage and dressing area. Good car parking. Easy to book and friendly staff. This was a last minute booking as our original trip to the Waikato was cancelled due to bad weather. This room was the last available room in Whanganui on what turned out to be Vintage Weekend. Would stay again. I was pleasantly surprised with this accommodation. Thank you.

No aircon, but thankfully, there was a fan in the room. It was very hot when we stayed and we were very hot and sweaty after bike riding all day. No swimming pool - It would have been nice to take a dip in a pool after a long day cycling. Not sure if the spa was working as we didn't ask. Direct access to rooms is via external stairs. We road our bikes up the side path and then pushed them along the porch and secured them outside our room. Also used the side path to unload the car to avoid going up and down the stairs. All good in the end. Some very, very minor inconveniences and overall a lovely motel.

I was self sufficient for breakfast provisions and preparation in ‘the log cabin’ (unit 7 which can sleep 5) having bought my own porridge mix from Australia. The kettle, toaster and microwave were ‘as new’. There was also a portable, electric hob with two hot plates. A COUNTDOWN store is 15 minutes walk away along Putiki Drive and the Whanganui River, and then a hop, step and a jump once across the City Bridge at the end of Victoria Avenue.

A small amount of milk ‘on arrival’ would have been good, as well as a supply of dishwashing liquid in the cupboard under the kitchen sink.

Comfortable and Quite. Spacious and clean.

A sign pointing to the reception as you drive in would help identify where to go. Otherwise, no complaints.
