Anndion Lodge Motel & Conference Centre ★★★
"We booked a room with a private bathroom. The room was very dated but clean, the staff was very friendly. Perfect for an overnight stay."
Aotea Motor Lodge ★★★★★
"Great location, good size rooms, great spa baths, would highly recommend"
Rutland Arms Inn ★★★★
"Arrived into Whanganui and found the hotel easily. After checking in, very easily, we went to our room. Not sure how old the hotel is, but the hall way & guest lounge very 1920’s with modern touches - comfortable & elegant. Our room was another elegant room with lovely touches accenting the period of the property. Though looking “old” the bed was extremely comfortable. The bathroom was huge with a corner whirlpool bath, as well as a shower too. We ate in the restaurant that evening & both of us had a lovely meal. Great stay & definitely recommend it."
Braemar House B&B and YHA Hostel ★★★
"Right next to the river, great for walks, what more can you ask for, Everything a solo traveler needs is there. About 15mins walk to town centre. Friendly host Alice and dog Dash."
BK's Magnolia Motor Lodge ★★★★
"Disgusting treatment, not child friendly or a safe place for a baby, got kicked out of our room for being “messy” at 8.45am. I have a 1 year old but tbh it was actually still quiet tidy, we left to drop me off somewhere I had to be at 9am with my baby and sitter coming back to clean up and hang in out in our room as we travelled from afar, unfortunately the owner unlocked and entered our room as we drove off and in her eyes it was a pigsty, she couldn’t justify what exact mess she was getting at, I told her it’s just pick up stuff, (which barely there was even a mess) and that we had no where to go and she did not care one bit. If you have a child do not stay here. I stayed here a month ago and she put her head into our room and told me to pick the food up off the ground or she would charge me a carpet cleaning fee, it was a popcorn chicken my baby had just dropped as she was in the middle of eating, I’m a mum of course I’m going to pick it up, it’s what we do. I felt so uncomfortable. Horrible treatment, no compassion, if it was a pigsty then completely understandable but we do not live like pigs!!"
Kings Court Motel ★★★★
"We love to come to this motel. The hosts are very helpful and welcoming. It is quiet, beautifully clean, and very convenient. Close to shops yet peaceful. We very much enjoyed our latest stay of 4 nights. Highly recommended."

Fiesta Court Motel
"This is a wonderful motel, clean comfortable and in a great location. The host was super friendly and helpful and very easy to deal with, stayed open in reception a little later than opening hours to welcome us and assist with check in which was much appreciated after our boat was later into Wellington than originally planned. The room was sizeable and had everything we needed for our nights stay."
