Avoid this hotel. I booked and paid then discovered I had booked a day too early. Within ten minutes of booking, I requested to change the date. I was informed that the booking could not be modified or cancelled. As a result I lost my entire purchase cost. Knowing that my mistake was genuine, they would not budge on policy. Very inconsiderate of them and I have learnt a hard lesson.

前台的老爺爺老奶奶都很熱情,超大的按摩浴缸,車位剛剛好,都能停下。鎮上的中餐館也不少,作為自駕的中間站很不錯。

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!

Check-in was a bit of a challenge. We didn’t realise it closes at 7pm on a Friday night (website and ******* 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.
