Hotels With Spa in Manawatu-Wanganui, New Zealand

This is probably the hotel accommodation closest to the top of the mountain. From the hotel, you can see two volcanic cones and the surrounding wilderness (not every room can see it). The hotel is at the starting and end of the Taranaki Falls Trail. The weather was clear that night, and I took photos of the stars with my phone. I booked the Ruapehu room this time. The room is relatively small. The Ctrip picture shows that there is a large bed and a bunk bed, but the upper bunk is a storage type. It is usually folded against the wall. If you want to use it, you can unfold it and it feels unreliable. There is thick dust, no mattress, and poor usability. In fact, it is a large bed and a small bed. The hotel ”mainly focuses on environmental protection concept” and does not provide shampoo and shower gel (there is a soap labelled shampoo, but I used it and it is far from real shampoo, it has no conditioning effect at all, and it is eye-irritating), does not provide plastic bottled water, and the room lighting is dim. There is a public laundry room, but the opening hours are limited, it seems to be 7:00-20:00. I checked in late and didn't use it. There is no one at the front desk at night. If you go late, you can open the door by yourself to collect mail. There is no food at night, you need to prepare your own. There is a kettle in the room, but no kitchen. There is a small settlement at the foot of the mountain 20 minutes drive from the hotel. There are some restaurants, but it is not clear whether they are open at night. Check-out time is 10 o'clock, very serious, housekeeping will knock on the door on time, late is not allowed, unless you pay extra $25/hour, I paid extra. This hotel is suitable for mountaineering and hiking outdoor enthusiasts who get up early and go to bed early. The main focus is on experience and naturally does not care about comfort.

We enjoyed our one night stay. It was easy to locate the hotel. The front desk manager was courteous and friendly and helpful. The hotel room was cozy, clean and spacious. We had a nice view of Palmy from the hotel room. There was an AC, a mini fridge, hot water, kettle, coffee, black tea, flavoured tea, milk and sugar available in the room. Unfortunately, you have to bring your own bottle of water, toothbrush & toothpaste. No hairdryer. Very comfortable bed & mattress. There's also a gymnastic and laundry facility available. Parking facility was available for the hotel's customers. Pak n Save was just across the street. There was also Burger King, Thai restaurants, a pub and some other eating spot nearby. There was breakfast and dinner available upon purchase at the hotel. Part of the hotel is under renovation. We reached there in the late afternoon and left around 10 a.m so most probably, this could be the reason we didn't hear any noise. We really wish we could stay more than a night and get the chance to explore Palmy a bit more.

Suitable for those who look for serenity, strategic location with scenic view of Mount Ngaruhoe right at the entrance if the weather is good. Clean and tidy kitchen area with plenty of kitchen equipment and utensils for cooking. The only downside I would nitpick is that the hot tub is located by the roadside so there’s not much privacy around.

This is our favorite motel in the North Island and we have stayed 6 times now. The spa studio room is nice and roomy, with great area for suitcases off the floor which saves our backs. The bed is super large and super comfy. The spa was super relaxing. Plenty of hot water, and the plunger coffee was a lovely addition. Lovely friendly service staff. Highly recommended to anyone looking for the same experience. Thanks to the owners.

It was spacious and comfortable enough for a family of 3-4 to stay together. The cooking facilities are well equipped, so it is convenient. Clean and comfortable bedding. Good Wi-Fi as well. If you ever need to stay in Palmerston North, Fitzroy Motel is a great choice.

There is very little light pollution in this area, the night sky is beautiful, and long exposure can draw out the Milky Way The room is too small and the suitcase is difficult to open There is a bit of a question mark about the service in the restaurant. The lamb knee was replaced three times and it was still icy next to the bone. It needs to be replaced the fourth time.

Stayed for the second time! The room given this time is on the second floor, so it is quieter and feels brighter and cleaner. There is milk, butter biscuits, everything is simple and comfortable, very close to the park, the bus stop is at the door, next time you go to Beipa, it is still the first choice.

The location is excellent, you can see the Tongari Lilu Snow Mountain, the surrounding environment is good, there are trails at the entrance, not far from the town center supermarket, driving is very convenient. The room is clean and has a kitchen and a spa.

Bit of a mixup with checking in but we managed to sort that. Otherwise everything was adequate for our needs.

Had a difficulty finding out how to chech-in,but it was a nice stay and good price.

Love the location. Close to park nearby.

Hotel in a tourist town, good environment and facilities

It is the ultra accommodating service that makes this place stand out. It turned out that I’d booked the wrong kind of room for my needs, and there was a very quick, willing solution found at no extra cost. I would stay again because I know I’d be well looked after.

The TV in the room was bad. I asked the boss to repair it. I didn’t fix it, I didn’t change it, and I didn’t give it a discount. The room is in a good environment.

The only problem we had was the room was double booked for what ever reason . We require a refund for the second room as it was cancelled by the Coachman.

Excellent Motel for the price. Exactly what I needed for quick business trip through Palmerston North

We booked the family unit, location is great! restaurant, supermarket and airport are all nearby. Full kitchen amenities, Staffs are very nice!

Very good location, the shop opened by the old couple, the room is very clean and everything is available. If you are driving, be careful to turn immediately after you reach the intersection, or you will miss another round.

The location is excellent and it is very convenient from the city center. The owner and his wife are very patient and friendly Chinese, the stay experience is very good, the room is very large.

The room basically meets the travel needs, opposite the stadium, the city is also very close, it is very convenient to go anywhere. Room service The front desk is very warm, but there is no customer service staff after 9 or 10 o'clock. If there is a requirement to add a quilt, you can solve it yourself. The water flow in the shower is a bit small and other aspects are OK. Overall it's OK.
