Putiki Hotels, Whanganui

"very clean room, superior toiletries. Staff were happy to help us with our bags (we're elderly and unable to carry our luggage up stairs)."

"Very welcoming hosts, amazingly comfortable bed, no noise from other rooms. Fabulous stay overall."

"Clean rooms, good staff."

"Staff really friendly; unit very comfortable with excellent facilities. Would go back."

"Rooms are very spacious and extremely well decorated. No lift but the barman assisted us with luggage. The room attendant is 75 but she is an absolute gem and very thorough with the room makeup. Bar downstairs is not noisy and has great food BUT I didn’t like the vanilla rice pudding. "

"Very clean and tidy with great indoor outdoor flow and fabulous view. Great spa "

"Great room in a classic old building. Shared bathroom might not be for everyone, but for 1 night and for the price, it was great "

"Absolutely amazing staff!! We had a flight delay from Auckland and found ourselves arriving after the check-in desk closed. We contacted the motel and they were incredibly kind and efficient, getting us set up with our room still and saving a trip up the river the next morning that would otherwise have needed to be delayed or cancelled. Can’t say enough how great they were, and so kind the next morning too. Room was well outfitted and very comfortable, with everything we needed. Right next to a walking path on the river and maybe 10-15 minute walk from the main couple of blocks of town where restaurants and other shopping/mail/atms/etc are."

"Nice and easy getaway. Close enough to where we needed to be (Fielding) but far enough away to escape for a few days."
