Excellent choice for 2brm apartment
Great motel, very spacious 2 bedroom apartment. Beds were comfy, everything was clean, kitchen was well stocked. Heatpump was great but a little confusing, on a relatively noisy road but earplugs solved that problem.

The new owners have updated many things with quality products. For example, heatpumps and beds/linen. Makes for a very comfortable stay. The high reviews that the motel has got, is certainly well deserved. I definitely recommend staying here.

Has become our home from home on visits to Whanganui. The apartment has everything we need and is well located near the centre of town. It's nice to get a friendly welcome too with the heater turned on pre-arrival on a cool evening.

Check in was a pleasure. The owners were very friendly and helpful. They even offered to drop us off for dinner. The accommodation was very clean and beds were comfortable. Location was within easy walking distance to shopping and dining. I would stay here again if I was staying in the area.
