Aotea Motor Lodge
4.3/543 Reviews
My wife and I spent 3 enjoyable days in Wanganui staying at the Aotea Motor Lodge. I booked direct with the motel and the owners were friendly and helpful. On arrival, the owners were friendly and again helpful. We were at the very back of the motel and it was very quiet. The heat pump was very efficient and quiet. The bonus for us was the huge spa bath which we used every night. The bed was comfortable as were the pillows. The unit was spotlessly clean and the furniture relatively modern. Overall, a great motel and highly recommended.
Asure Cooks Gardens Motor Lodge
4.4/552 Reviews
Accommodation in a quiet alley a 10-minute walk from Whanganui city centre. The motel hosts were very friendly. The rooms were spacious and clean, making it great for staying with family. Recommended accommodation if you travel to Whanganui!
Astral Motel
3.8/543 Reviews
The location is easy to find, I accidentally found that the store is Chinese, the manager is very good, knows that we need to cook, help us upgrade for free, a big motel, the facilities for children are complete, but the shower equipment is a little old, overall it is good
Anndion Lodge Motel & Conference Centre
3.9/537 Reviews
Anndion Lodge & Motel Wanganui, starting from the website and advertising of the facility everything looks amazing, the website states “upmarket and homely environment with a pool, sauna, spa pool” now “upmarket” would be a stretch. This accomodation came highly recommended by friends and family who have previously stayed here. The list of issues, the spa pool is unavailable due to the owners not wishing for it to be used. The amenities in our room consisted of 1x bar of soap, the shower gel bottle was empty and the bathroom blinds covered in dust, not to mention the mould in the shower and around the basin drain. It became very clear very fast that the website photos vs the actual room’s are completely staged photos, June 2015 vs November 2021 are very different. Maintenance is also something that’s completely missing. During our stay we where advised no room service would be completed due to “shared air” and covid - 19 and if we wanted towels replaced we needed to leave them outside our room by 10am. So this happened and on our return a pile of fresh towels where left on the floor where we had walked over to leave, e.g. how clean was the floor in our doorway? The reception area was also not available due to covid 19 and “shared air” we where advised to wait outside and press a doorbell for service. The experience was disappointing at best.
Riverview Motel
4/552 Reviews
I had the privilege to stay for a couple of night at the Riverview motel and it was a fantastic service by Dave (David). He was very professional and I can tell he's a people person and proud to serve anyone that walk into his office. Fortunately for me David upgrade me into a big room with a king size bed and spaces for one person. I enjoy my two nights staying there and would recommend this motel to anyone visiting Whanganui.
The Avenue
3.6/556 Reviews
We stayed here for 4 nights as were attending the Colgate games. The room we had was a good size, nice new paint job.and had comfy beds; room had basic ammenities that you would expect and the nightly price was reasonable. The hotel is located close to town and there are lots of eateries and shops nearby. A few issues: there is no aircon and the nights were really humid, we had to open the sliding door all night to let in air. Bathroom shower needed a good clean as there was crime build up in corner of the shower. Breakfast was a let down, it came free with room but I chose not to eat it after day 1, stale croissants, overcooked eggs and coffee not good. If issues are addressed it will improve things a lot.
