A clean, spacious, well-equipped studio in a quiet motel with friendly staff and easy parking. The location is very convenient to downtown. The bed was comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was decent. Some light shines in the frosted windows from the parking lot next door at night. I don't mind that (it helps with finding the bathroom at night), but someone who prefers to sleep in pitch darkness might care.

Lovely host. Comfortable, clean, and spacious room. Ideal location as the property has access to a lake, which was a lovely walk. We have no hesitation in recommending this as a place to stay, and we will definitely book again if we visit Whanganui.
