Hotels With Spa in Manawatu-Wanganui, New Zealand

The hotel is just below the snow-capped mountains, and you can see the snow-capped mountains when you go out. The environment is good. The entrance to the hotel is the hiking entrance of the national park. It is very convenient to book a shuttle to the hotel to go skiing in the ski resort. The room is very warm in winter. There is a small refrigerator, a kettle, a coffee cup, a communal kitchen, and a restaurant where you can book breakfast and dinner. The only downside is that there is no hot water in the late meeting, so I can't take a shower.

The plateau lodge is great! The staff are friendly and helpful. It’s in the small village of National Park and directly across the street from the excellent ski outfitters shop. The room was small, but we spent little time in the room anyway. The large community room and kitchen were nice places to relax on rainy days.

The current rating of this hotel is too low, and it seems that the data has not been refreshed. In fact, the hotel is very good. If you stay for two nights, the cleanliness is the best among all the hotels I have stayed in. The food in the restaurant is very, very delicious. I highly recommend it if you go to Tongariro. You don’t have to worry about running out of food! Moreover, this hotel can pick up and drop off the mountain climbing shuttle bus, and the facilities are also very complete! The only drawback may be that the room is a bit small, but the service, facilities and restaurant are enough to give it full marks! ! ! Highly recommended~~

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.

Very pleasant surprise to find consistently lovely and helpful staff, right from reservations team to checkout. Also Very happy to find our room was so well appointed too. Heater, cooling unit and windows that open. Great morning sun (odd numbered room). Large tiled shower and marble effect bathroom countertop. Minibar, nice looking and reasonably priced menus plus room service. Highly recommended

4 Senior women doing a North Island road trip. Chose 2 bedroom unit which gave us all a bed each and then a separate living area. Though only a few metres away from SH 1 and heavy truck thru traffic all night the rooms were surprising quiet and the traffic did not disturb us. We all appreciated the spaciousness of the unit. Thanks for a pleasant stay.

Well.. i'm an experienced traveller and stay in hotels 26 weeks of the year. First glance willing to explore the difference of modern accommodation vs 19 whatever. Sort of taking the smell of mouldy old timber and carpet as a bit of a novelty but here's my review. Room was pretty much looked after except for the last day where they left dirty glasses etc and didn't fill the tea caddy. Breakfast was great with the gent at front of house looking after my guest and I. Dinner was abysmal, I love venison and ordered it thinking it's basically a staple in NZ and will be cooked well. Nup, the cook destroyed it and I'm still choking on it. Two glasses of wine later and it's still like a lump in my chest. I left a comment with the wait staff but was appeased by ”have a good rest of your evening” . Seriously guys, covid has brought out the worst in a lot of people because everyone's a whinger. I however rarely whinge but you guys need to lift your game... not good.. :(.. aint coming back

Overall good 👍

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.

My husband and I stayed on a two night package which included a private room with ensuite, cooked breakfasts, Old Coach Road Trail transfers to Horopito and use of the spa pools. Due to urgent surgery and an eight week recovery recovery, we had to postpone our break away for two months and Steve was understanding and helpful when I contacted him and was happy to extend the deal until my husband had recovered. Our room was cosy, clean and comfortable and there was a clear view of Mount Ruapehu from the deck - we sat and watched the sunset and the colours reflected on the snowy mountain - it was magic. The breakfasts were made while we waited and delivered to our table hot and fresh. The staff were helpful and happy to go the extra mile. The lock up storage facility for our bikes was an added bonus and everything was in walking or biking distance so we didn't need to use the car. All in all this is a great place to stay with friendly and helpful staff.

A group of us stayed in the chalet. It was comfortable and great for a group. A short stroll to the powderhorn for dinner. Friendly hosts. There were a couple of minor issues that they fixed straight away. Happy to recommend as a great spot to base you and your friends for an Adventure weekend in Ohakune. Winter or summer. And check out the local takeout The Blind Finch - for the best burgers, pies and danishes!!

A Great last minute stay here! Booked a room at the Harrington's Motor Lodge only 10mins before I arrived. I usually stay up the road, but the last minute room rate here was really good. The lovely lady at Reception hadn't quite seen my booking come through, so she rushed around getting my room organized. Proper Fresh Milk offered, none of those horrid UHT pottles to be seen. Parking was available directly outside the rooms. My room was just one of their basic studios. They were nothing flash, but all the fundamentals were excellent. Comfy Beds, Clean, and warm. Huge TV with the 50+ Sky TV Channels. Small Kitchenette with all the stuff you'd need to cook a small meal/breakfast. Bathroom had a wet area shower, which unfortunately had pretty shocking pressure. I had feared when I arrived, that this place may have been being used as an Emergency Housing Facility. There were a couple of shady people hanging around outside their rooms, and old beaten up cars. After a terrible experience the night before in a Motel that was an EH Facility, I was really nervous. However, the shady people outside were extremely quiet and respectful. So hopefully this place is not a EH Facility. My few gripes would be the shocking shower pressure. The lack of Power Sockets by the bed for the charging of phones and the likes. And not the Motels fault, but Turning right out of the Motel onto Fitzherbert Street can be very hard at times, and some massive patience is needed. So all in all, the Harrington's Motor Lodge is an extremely decent, comfortable, clean and affordable place to spend the night. The owners/manager are very friendly people. This place offers excellent value for money. Would definitely stay again

Very good services particularly mentioned late for check in and arranged after hour check in service for me. Moreover when informed broken of coffee machines and they changed new coiffed levels machines for me to use. Thank you for great and excellent services.

I can’t comment on the rooms because Henry at Rose City Motel cancelled our booking, a booking that I had made 5 months previously for a weekend where an annual event sees accommodation across Palmerston North fully booked out, to rent out the Superior 2 Bedroom Apartment I had booked for my family to someone else (presumably at a higher price). It seems there is not much you can do when your booking is not honoured and the motel has not retained the money you were paying so I wanted to share this in case you also are going to rely on a booking at this motel on a night when no other accommodation will be available near to the time.

We have been staying with Mark & Belynda every February for the last 5 years. The first 3 years in a larger two bedroom apartment with my older parents. More recently in Studio room with Kitchenette. We come for an Annual Speedway event and the organisation, care and support this couple put into their guests stays each year is amazing. Our rooms have always been beautifully clean and pleasantly decorated. New little touches added each year helping to make our stay more enjoyable. This year it was a Nespresso machine and an adorable new support manager in Sir Harper the kitten. Looking forward to seeing you again next year.

Not too far from the city centre. Old-fashioned hotel, colonial style, very clean, the waiter is also different from the general kiwi's easygoing, more professional sense of the upper class. On Saturday, I caught up with the downstairs cocktail party, and the various classic cars at the door roared for a while. The hotel's western restaurant is good. There is no anti-slip mat in the bathroom, leaving a note that the hotel hopes to add to future customers.

Being a unit for wheelchair access, the room was spacious, very comfortable KS bed plus SB, generous bathroom with good shower pressure. Kitchen compact but included most amenities. Hosts very friendly and welcoming. Quiet and good location near Botanical Gardens and Wildlife Rehab Centre.

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

after being informed our other accomdation was closing down, we were lucky to discover here & book a one night stay. the room was fabulous, at the front of building, with a balcoy looking out to the mountains. everything was clean, comfortable & cozy. A good nights sleep, we were not bothered by road noise. A basic breakfast was left for us in the upstairs kitchen, that was enough to start our day, plenty of tea/coffee available. There are 2 eating places a short drive away, but only one was open on our stay, which was understandably, crazy busy. Thank you.
