    Great area, near beach and a nice little holiday park with good amenities. Swimming pool close to kitchen, BBQ and covered area with tables, fab for families. Our small accommodation looked like a playhouse from the outside with a veranda to sit on, but provided tv, shower, toilet, kitchenette and double bed. Fine for the 1 night we stayed.

    Our church group members went to Whanganui, some stayed at Coachmans Lodge Motel and some stayed at Burwood Motel. We did not really going around Whanganui as we were there for an event for our church and we had our lunch and dinner at the church hall. We find it very easy to get around Whanganui and we will visit other places next time we go there. We really enjoyed our trip.

    Whanganui is a bit of a hidden gem!

    Whanganui is a bit of a hidden gem! Excellent dining spots and cafe's. If you are an art lover then it is the place for you. Lots of Galleries and local art collectives to meander through. The river walk is a great stroll and older buildings to admire.

    Easy access to the main shopping area.

    Easy access to the main shopping area. It was a public holiday so few places were open. So didn’t experience all what was on offer. Also there is 15% surcharge on top of what you buy when using your credit card ! Pay by cash ! Lovely walk along the river. I-site is an information centre which is really helpful. Travel up on the oldest elevator on Druie Hill amazing views

    Whanganui is not a place we have spent any time at.

    Whanganui is not a place we have spent any time at. As one of NZ’s few riverside cities, we enjoyed the differences that such locations offer. Whanganui has a rich history both Maori and Pakeha which we enjoyed learning sbout

    Nice welcome with owner who provided milk and a chocolate each! The room was quite large with a kitchenette, living room that had a dining table four chairs, two single beds. There was a separate bedroom with a queen bed. Nice touch with mints and a welcome on the table. Parking right outside. The motel is in a good location as easy to get in and out and drive to town easily. Pet friendly made this a great choice for us.

    We stayed here because we had never been to Whanganui before so made it a stop over on way to New Plymouth. We researched the accommodation and Braemer came up the right fit for us. Absolutely so happy we did, lovely home and garden with chooks free ranging, and the hosts Alice and Calvyn made us so welcome. We are definitely coming back and we can't rate this place highly enough.

    I liked the hosts that were polite and friendly. The cleaning staff were awesome and always asked if we needed anything they were glad to help. Our two motel rooms that we requested were beside each other and separated. When you book early the hosts will do their utmost to accommodate you. Easy parking and you are not far from the main city of Whanganui. Awesome location.

    The room was very modern and very clean. Felt like a 5 star hotel. Everything you would need to feel like you were on a holiday with privacy. Rory was an excellent host who we felt genuinely cared about our stay in Whanganui. Thank you Rory. Will definitely book again at the Smith House.

    Comfortable, private, large room with air conditioning within a house on a no exit street. Lovely facilities within the room, including tea, coffee, herbal teas and an ensuite. I loved the breakfast. Best meal of the day! I enjoyed a lovely evening walk around the Whanganui lake.

    Beautiful location by the river, the whole motel faces toward the view & gets morning sun. Very cool heritage/early 80s styling (we like that kind of thing) and all very well maintained & clean. Spacious room with very well appointed kitchenette.

    Nothing. This so called hotel should not be on your books, it does immeasurable damage to the reputation of Booking .com. It has made me question weather Booking .com can be trusted to provide worth while, clean, comfortable accommodation,
