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

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
3.8/547 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
3.9/531 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
4/549 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
3.6/554 Reviews
This hotel was found while googling good hotels in Whanganui. Unfortunately the review did not match what we received. We paid top $200 for each night we stayed. Two nights. Top premium price for Whanganui. Staff some were friendly and some were not and we seemed to be imposing on them. Very little information given about the place or facilities. We did not know check out time, we did not know that they had a restaurant on site, and that they did breakfast, or even that they had a pool. Breakfast was a complete let down. Very expensive for the lack of variety, and the food was cold, overcooked (eggs)/hash browns etc) Surely all of this information should be communicated and if not, they should have some paperwork in our room that we can read. We stayed in room 9. There is no air conditioning and only a fan. The evenings that we stayed were both extremely hot, and the fan did nothing to help with that. If you opened the ranch slider you got all of the outside noise, and let bugs in. Room was lovely. Nicely done up with a lovely bed etc. No tissues in our room , no hair drier in the room. The bathroom was horrible with an old tap for shower over the bath, with very little water pressure, and the glass screen door did not prevent water from getting all over the bathroom floor. No handle or anything to allow you into and out of the bath/shower, and the bath mat even if you followed their instructions, the mat still moved all over the place. If the above missing items were replaced and bathroom done up with an air conditioning unit, I would pay the price we paid, otherwise, this was overpriced and lacked in many areas for us.
