We stayed here for a week to explore the area round Whanganui. The room we had did not have a stove top, only a microwave but I believe other rooms did. Apart from that, this motel is extremely clean and looks like it has been refurbished fairly recently. The shower was very powerful, which was great for hair washing! The bed was massive and very comfortable. Dishcloths, tea towels and washing up liquid are supplied and the dishcloths and tea towels are changed daily. There was plenty of storage for our clothes etc. There is a sign, which discourages the eating of anything with a pungent odour. If you want to do washing, you can do it between 3 and 7 pm but sometimes if you ask, you can do it earlier. There are two massive rotary airers outside, fully supplied with pegs, or a tumble drier. The cost for washing is $2 a load. There is plenty to do in Whanganui, we did the paddle steamer Waimarie, Durie Hill Tower, Whanganui Museum and Virginia Lake. They are all walking distance from the motel, if you’re reasonably fit.
