Very friendly owners/ staff and helpful, everything was absolutely perfect... apart from the beds.... too soft, and pillows too hard, this is of course a personal preference and not the motels fault!!! However, none of us slept well unfortunately.... we would definitely return but bring our own pillows next time.

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.
