Thanks for staying with us, and your feedback. We are happy to discuss what amenities you consider outdated face to face rather than an online review as the end result would be more positive.

It was great to be allowed a early check in with the Wanganui street races on . Decor is a little bit classic but Very Very clean and great location walking distance to town. Will stay again.

Fortunately traffic goes quiet at end of the working day - except for the odd 'hoon' that you can get anywhere. Grateful that our Motel is on an arterial route where it can be seen rather than lost in a quiet back street. Thanks for staying

Thanks for your comments. Yes, old. Built in 1973 but very well maintained and very functional. Decor in units has been 80% updated in last 3 years and outside is currently being repainted. There are much newer Motels with trendy decor and this may be reflected in their prices.

Loved the position right by the river and close to town and the friendly cat
