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.
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.
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

We're definitely not youthful but felt very much at home in Braemar House. We stayed in the B and B, finding it very comfortable, quiet, and with lovely touches - fluffy bathrobes and towels, a door onto the verandah, quiet, chocolates on the pillow, a basin in the room with bathroom across the hall - so many caring things. The shared kitchen is very well stocked with tools and pots, very clean and all we needed to prepare a meal. Calvyn and Alice are the nicest of hosts, very helpful and cheerful. We'll be back, and in the meantime are telling others about it. There is a wonderful cafe around the corner - The Yellow House. Great coffee and meals.
We were a group of 8 women so needed 4 rooms, each with 2 beds in. The rooms were perfect for us. The beds were very comfortable and the pillows also. Everything in the room, kitchenette and bathroom was very clean - when we walked in, it smelt clean. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Location was very central to the cbd. Amazing value for money - would highly recommend.
Fantastic motel! We were celebrating a years hard work with all our staff & their partners, so we booked 12 rooms. Kasia was lovely to deal with, nothing was a problem to organize for her, she is very accommodating. The motel is modern and very clean. All our staff were very impressed - no complaints! We woukd definitely stay here again and recommend. We had breakfast at the cafe next door which was super handy & very good.
