Staff & service was excellent. The area was excellent in terms of location. Great river walks , shopping.cafes, markets,town centre all within walking distance or a very short drive. Building a little dated the only negative but everything else more than atones.

Hi David. Along with other units, yours has recently been redecorated throughout, fitted with new curtains, couch, kitchen and vanity chairs, be, bedding, electric stove and various kitchen amenities. The only thing we can't update is the Spanish style construction but people love that. we are a 3 star Motel and people feel very comfortable here.

We loved all the space the unit gave us. The bedroom was seperate from the living room which we liked. The couch was on the hard side and not very relaxing to sit on. Nevertheless, the motel was priced well, the bed was comfortable and everything was extemely clean. We would consider returning to it in the future.

The general vibe of the place was good. Off the road a bit and the river was just across from us. Nice and quiet. The water pressure was a bit low - maybe a different shower head would fix that. And the TV was a bit small by modern standards - but otherwise was a very nice stay. :O)

A clean & comfortable room. The kitchenette was fully equipped with cookware, a full oven & stove top as well as a microwave. The bed was a bit soft for our liking. We think the weather may have been hotter than the locals may be used to - there wasn’t an air conditioner or fan to relieve the evening heat buildup. The manager was very helpful & friendly.

This place is directly on the river but has no problem with insects. It has no Air Conditioner, but it is cool, with a really good passive design. It is easy to reach most features in Whanganui. The cats that own the place are relatively aloof, but the owner is friendly. If you are sensitive to traffic going by, you might be affected by that, but I found it comfortable and quiet. Overall, an excellent base from which to explore Whanganui. Highly recommended.

Thanks for staying. Your first sentence answers the second. Heat pumps are not efficient if used for instant heating. Electric heaters are adequate. Hot water cylinder has been checked by Electrician and is faultless. Suggests that cylinders in motel situations are not 'family size' so heavy usage requires them to be left for a while to reheat. These simple matters are best dealt with and leftt Reception

They believed I had booked for "4 people" rather than 1 adult and 2 children. Therefore 2 king size beds. When I asked if beds could be single we were provided with bedding for pull out sofa. I pointed out that I had booked for 1 adult and 2 children aged 15 boy and 11 girl and I had expected single beds for the children. The gentleman said "that's what happens when you book through them" meaning Wotif. The next morning I went to the office again and asked if it was possible while housekeeping were on site whether one room could be two single beds. The lady was very happy to do so and when we returned at the end of the day it had been done.

Graeme a répondu le 13 juill. 2023
What a shame! We thought we had sorted this amicably, instead of it becoming an international issue Elizabeth got the room she booked. Never any question about the number of people. However, we do not get advised details of males/females. At the time the booking was made we found it odd that one of the more suitable family units that were available hadn't been chosen as they have ample beds. However, it is not unusual for bookings such as this and the kids share a bed unless a special request is made to split the bed. I explained to the guest that she hadn't used this online option. As she was stressing that we were dealing with a male and female we thought it best to use the comfy couch bed to give them separate sleeping spaces. However, next morning we were asked to split the bed which we were happy to do. Turns out the Gran and girl shared the bdrm with split beds and male had the other bdrm. Had we been told their intentions in the first place we could have prepared the unit accordingly, but we don't know if we are not told and when somebody books a 2bdrm unit which is described online as having two large beds then we assume that's what the guest wants unless we are advised otherwise.
