This is literally the cleanest motel I have ever stayed in - and I travel the world. It was clean, comfortable and perfectly maintained. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was spotless, the linens were excellent and the amenities were perfect for an overnight stay. Parking is right outside your door. Quiet and peaceful night’s sleep.

Very clean. Comfortable beds (most important). The shower was the best. You could write poetry about the shower pressure.

Even in the rain it was perfect for our stay. The kitchen was well equipped to allow us to make a pasta dinner complete with garlic bread and a breakfast of French toast using the fresh farm eggs and milk along with the orange juice supplied that tasted like fresh squeezed. So delicious!
We really appreciated that there was also a washer plus dryer to refresh our limited clothing supply!
The house was spacious and comfortable. In nicer weather we would have enjoyed sitting out on the deck for our meals. It was close to the city but also was rural so very peaceful and private. Definitely an incredible bargain in today’s market. Thank you!!

What a quirky wee place. Loved learning about the history of the cottage. The eclectic collection of furniture/furnishings added to an interesting experience. The nearby Citadel cafe was super. Easy to drive into Wanganui to explore.

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 a bit of a hidden gem!
Whanganui is a bit of a hidden gem! Excellent dining spots and cafe's. If you are an art lover then it is the place for you. Lots of Galleries and local art collectives to meander through. The river walk is a great stroll and older buildings to admire.
The bed was lovely and clean and comfy. The staircase as you enter is stunning. It's a lovely space, just wish it was done up a little. I got what I paid for though, it was cheap especially for a last minute hotel. A weird thing I liked was being able to control the lighting from bed with light switches connected to the bedside table.
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.
Wonderful location with large deck to peaceful view over lake towards the mountains. Only minutes from town but you're in the countryside! Clean, warm, spacious, apartment with comfy beds. Friendly, accommodating host leaving thoughtful touches like bottle of bubbly. Would definitely return here when staying in Whanganui.
The room was spacious and easy to accommodate everyone when we all gathered in one room. The bed was very comfortable and the room was very clean. Also liked the laundry facilities available for guests. The motel is laid out in such a way that you don't hear noises from other rooms.
This is a low cost hotel but the wifi worked well , the beds were comfortable and the showers functioned well.
We selected this Motel for proximity to our destination and it worked well for us.
Not a place for long term stay-due to minimal in room cooking and cleaning facilities
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.
As a truck driver I am used to motel overnightings. For my holiday we chose this for our week-end in Whanganui.
This is by far the best place I have stayed. Would recommend to anybody if you are looking for a tidy and spotless place
Immaculate and large apartment right in the Centre of Whanganui. Car parked outside the door. Very quiet with lovely owners. 5 minute walk to the main street and excellent craft beer and food in the Rutland Arms
A really cool historic Mansion in a nice quiet part of town. The rooms were spacious with high ceilings. The staff was super friendly and even gave us free lemons and plums growing right on the property!
