Great place to stay for our family of 4. Accommodation was clean and inviting. Hosts were accomodating of our 2 cars and let us know where to park the 2nd car and explained well everything we needed to know. Bathroom & room itself was clean, infact first impressions were right, the entire property was clean and inviting. Will definitely stay here again next time we in Whanganui!

Convenient clean spacious units. Friendly staff. Due to the location being on a main road there was some traffic noise on Friday and Saturday night but not as much as I would have expected. I would definitely stay there again.

Check-in was a bit of a challenge. We didn’t realise it closes at 7pm on a Friday night (website and Expedia both day reception open until 9:30pm). Property Manager made allowances and waited for us until 8:15om. Great spa, much larger than expected. Would stay again and make sure if arriving after 7pm we get in contact.
