Comfortable and clean rooms. The bed was cosy. The rain shower and spa tub were enjoyable and clean. The sofa was large and plush, perfect for watching Netflix on the tv. Kasha and Ira manage the property well. They are friendly, accommodating and work hard to ensure the property is well kept. Our stay was lovely and peaceful. We added an extra night stay because it was so neat, clean, comfortable and pleasant.

Whanganui is a great place to visit.
Whanganui is a great place to visit. Friendly, great vibe, lots to see and do and not very expensive. I have never had a bad coffee there! Saturday market by the river is a must, as are the parks and gardens, a trip on the Waimarie, the tunnel and elevator, arts trail, beaches, bike trails, museum and restaurants. Heritage Weekend and Christmas Boxing Day are REALLY busy with a ton of stuff on. The Boatshed in Aramoho was our favourite restaurant this trip. Only negative in Whanganui is the AWFUL driving - and we are from Auckland!

The history of the city is clearly evident in the retention of a lot of charming century old buildings which have been carefully maintained on the outside with appropriate interior upgrades. A ride on the river steamboat and a unique in-ground lift which takes you from near sea level to the top of a hill suburb are other attractions.

Whanganui has a wealth of history.
Whanganui has a wealth of history. Like many modern day cities/towns around NZ, Whanganui had its hey day at the turn of the 1900s, and as the river became less important for transport and access, the local economy went into decline. However, many aspects of this affluent past have been preserved. Highlights for us included the trip aboard the paddle Steamer (1912 restored) Waimarie, taking the elevator to the top of Durie Hill and climbing the 176 steps to the top of the town's WW1 memorial.
Walking around Majestic Square and the modernist War Memorial Hall, made us feel transported to Brasilia, as this style of architecture was lauded by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer.
We attended The Whanganui Opera House's Repertory Theatre production of Titanic Letters which was a lovely finale to our stay here.

Great area, near beach and a nice little holiday park with good amenities. Swimming pool close to kitchen, BBQ and covered area with tables, fab for families. Our small accommodation looked like a playhouse from the outside with a veranda to sit on, but provided tv, shower, toilet, kitchenette and double bed. Fine for the 1 night we stayed.

Our church group members went to Whanganui, some stayed at Coachmans Lodge Motel and some stayed at Burwood Motel. We did not really going around Whanganui as we were there for an event for our church and we had our lunch and dinner at the church hall.
We find it very easy to get around Whanganui and we will visit other places next time we go there.
We really enjoyed our trip.

Whanganui is one of the most pleasing towns in New Zealand:...
Whanganui is one of the most pleasing towns in New Zealand: visually and culturally.
The Quartz ceramics museum is the real jewel in the crown of the town. Rick Rudd the creator has produced a world-class showcase collection of the best in this, the oldest of human art forms.
We have stayed here previously hence the reason for our return. A wonderful location, quiet and peaceful yet only a short drive from the city proper. The fireplace, the little things such as the slippers, snacks and drinks for sale at a very good price range, the outdoor setting and deck plus space inside for several people. The hosts are absolutely lovely as are the neighbours!! There are recommendations for things to do, pamphlets galore set out for you to peruse. If you want a home away from home then this is for you.
Nice welcome with owner who provided milk and a chocolate each! The room was quite large with a kitchenette, living room that had a dining table four chairs, two single beds. There was a separate bedroom with a queen bed. Nice touch with mints and a welcome on the table. Parking right outside.
The motel is in a good location as easy to get in and out and drive to town easily.
Pet friendly made this a great choice for us.
Warm and cozy vintage character home. Comfortable bedroom with window seating. Spacious inviting living room. Classic bathroom with claw foot bathtub and cubby space under the sink. Decorative touches, porch seating, and a rare screen door for front door to let the air in without the pests.
Stacy was warm and friendly and provided a few fruits from her organic garden.
Would highly recommend.
We stayed here because we had never been to Whanganui before so made it a stop over on way to New Plymouth. We researched the accommodation and Braemer came up the right fit for us. Absolutely so happy we did, lovely home and garden with chooks free ranging, and the hosts Alice and Calvyn made us so welcome. We are definitely coming back and we can't rate this place highly enough.
The room was huge and well laid out. It was very clean and well maintained. The bed was comfortable. The property is situated next to a New World supermarket and across the road from a Pak n Save and Countdown. It is very convenient to the road in from Wellington and the road to New Plymouth. Victoria Ave is Whanganui’s main street.
Spacious house across the river from the town but most central f or most of Whanganuis activities. Great upstairs bedroom and bathroom. Kitchen excellent but larder needs sorting..
Spacious and comfortable for just 2 of us. Laundry facilities good.
Parking on the street below the steps easy..
Great views over the river.
Room was beautiful and clean. The manager was very understanding and helpful whilst making my booking. The spa bath looked amazing, unfortunately we were not there long enough to try it! The young man at reception with his Nana was SUPER cute and extremely friendly! I would definitely recommend this place to everyone!
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.
Great location, easy to find. Easy to navigate your way out of Whanganui to continue your journey. Several takeaway places nearby and very close to a petrol station. Plenty of parking. Lovely grounds. Very comfy beds. Spacious bathroom. Just an all round very satisfactory place to stop at.
Everything about this property was excellent. The room was spacious with an outdoor sitting area, the bed,pillows and linen were top notch. It was in a quiet neighborhood location with a back gate to the beautiful Virginia Lake walking paths. The host was friendly and informative.
We thoroughly enjoyed the rooms, they were very comfortable and the decor was delightful. It was a very quiet location and we were close to where we wanted to be in Whanganui. The breakfasts were delicious and there was plenty of choice.
Allie was a wonderful host and made our stay in Whanganui very comfortable. Very comfortable beds. Good size room and in a great location. We'll have no hesitation staying there again.
This is a family-run business, operated by a couple who are very enthusiastic. When we made a booking mistake, they helped us switch rooms. The hotel is clean, tidy, and well-equipped!
A solid motel choice in Whanganui. Very clean, decent beds, good space, good location on Victoria Ave with New World (and fast food joints should you want them) within a block or two.
Location was great. Restaurant/bar really nice warm atmosphere with lovely meals. We thoroughly loved the hotel decor befitting with the hotel name, ie "grand"
