Anndion Lodge Motel & Conference Centre ★★★

📍 143 Anzac Parade, Whanganui East, Whanganui

"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."

Rutland Arms Inn
8.8 (90 reviews)

Rutland Arms Inn ★★★★

📍 48-52 Ridgway Street, Whanganui

"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."

Aotea Motor Lodge
8.8 (70 reviews)

Aotea Motor Lodge ★★★★★

📍 390 Victoria Avenue, Whanganui

"The grandfathers and grandmothers at the front desk are very enthusiastic, the oversized jacuzzi, the parking space is just right, can stop. There are also many Chinese restaurants in the town, which is very good as the middle station for self-driving."

Riverview Motel
8.1 (58 reviews)

Riverview Motel ★★★

📍 14 Somme Parade, Whanganui

"Nice Kiwi motel. Actually I really appreciated it because it was super clean. Quite tidy, very good hot shower and nice location by the river with an easy 10 min walk to town. Comfortable bed, very clean sheets & bedding. TV was a bit old & limited channels but no time for watching TV. Would definitely stay again."

Braemar House B&B and YHA Hostel
8.4 (47 reviews)

Braemar House B&B and YHA Hostel ★★★

📍 2 Plymouth Street, Whanganui

"The accommodation was surprisingly good for the price and location. The receptionist was very accommodating and waited for me until I arrived before she called it a day. I liked the common bathroom outside the main house as it was really warm and spacious."

BK's Magnolia Motor Lodge
9.2 (24 reviews)

BK's Magnolia Motor Lodge ★★★★

📍 240 Saint Hill Street, Whanganui

"Was kicking out a solo mum at 8.45 in the morning that's really shocking for going somewhere safe to stay for a few nights and expecting to clean a room that early is against people privacy. Also leaving someone stranded is also unprofessional especially paying and following all the rules to having a Karen work here is sad"

Burwood Motel
8.5 (102 reviews)

Burwood Motel ★★★

📍 63 Dublin Street, Whanganui

"Very helpful and friendly receptionist and cleaners. Large room, comfy bed, strong shower, good location yet quiet, free car parking in front of the unit. Got what you paid for a business road trip. Satisfied and thank you!"

Anndion Lodge Motel & Conference Centre ★★★
"It's a really great place, comfy and cozy. The little veranda was cold in the morning but with the curtains, we didn't feel it at all in the room. As our room was more at the back and not so close to the road, we also didn't hear the traffic at all. Really nice accommodation."
